I'm not sure whether 69 00:04:04,147 --> 00:04:06,347 Speaker 2: you'd be happy with that or having been one four 70 00:04:06,347 --> 00:04:09,667 Speaker 2: forty one for one, would you feel it's an opportunity lost. 71 00:04:09,867 --> 00:04:13,387 Speaker 2: Let's bring in one of our leading sports writers, multi 72 00:04:13,427 --> 00:04:16,747 Speaker 2: award winner, editor of the SUPERB subscriber newsletter The Bounce, 73 00:04:16,787 --> 00:04:21,267 Speaker 2: co host of the BYC podcast, Dylan Cleaver. Dylan, maybe 74 00:04:21,267 --> 00:04:23,107 Speaker 2: I'll just ask you that sent in, would you be 75 00:04:23,107 --> 00:04:25,867 Speaker 2: happy with three four seven or at one forty one 76 00:04:25,907 --> 00:04:28,267 Speaker 2: for one? Would you feel as though it is an 77 00:04:28,267 --> 00:04:29,147 Speaker 2: opportunity lost? 78 00:04:30,267 --> 00:04:30,467 Speaker 3: Yes? 79 00:04:30,627 --> 00:04:33,467 Speaker 4: Really curious one you'd have to as a Black Cats fan, 80 00:04:33,547 --> 00:04:36,947 Speaker 4: you'd have to feel reasonably satisfied about being sent in 81 00:04:37,227 --> 00:04:39,587 Speaker 4: and ending up with three four seven, particularly how the 82 00:04:39,587 --> 00:04:42,347 Speaker 4: rest of the series has gone. But then you look 83 00:04:42,427 --> 00:04:45,707 Speaker 4: one o five without loss, and you're thinking, cheaper that 84 00:04:45,787 --> 00:04:49,027 Speaker 4: there's a four point fifty on here if they get 85 00:04:49,067 --> 00:04:53,827 Speaker 4: their heads down. So that middle section of the innings 86 00:04:54,147 --> 00:04:58,107 Speaker 4: was extremely disappointing, and in particular, the modes of dismissal 87 00:04:58,147 --> 00:05:01,867 Speaker 4: were extremely disappointing. So on Ballance, I think three four 88 00:05:01,987 --> 00:05:04,827 Speaker 4: seven is slightly disappointing. But I go back to that 89 00:05:05,067 --> 00:05:08,307 Speaker 4: old old Crest cliche, which is you can never tell 90 00:05:08,507 --> 00:05:11,587 Speaker 4: the true nature of it until both themes have bettered 91 00:05:11,627 --> 00:05:11,867 Speaker 4: on it. 92 00:05:12,227 --> 00:05:13,547 Speaker 2: All right, we're going to find that out in the 93 00:05:13,547 --> 00:05:19,467 Speaker 2: next few hours or so. You mentioned the middle order, Ravendra, Mitchell, Blundell, Phillips. 94 00:05:19,667 --> 00:05:21,707 Speaker 2: I think all got out to poor shot yesterday. What 95 00:05:21,707 --> 00:05:23,347 Speaker 2: did you make of their respective downfalls? 96 00:05:24,787 --> 00:05:27,547 Speaker 4: Yeah, look, I haven't got a better word for it 97 00:05:27,587 --> 00:05:29,827 Speaker 4: than you just mentioned, which was poor. I think there 98 00:05:29,867 --> 00:05:33,187 Speaker 4: was poor thinking and that was poorly executed shot making. 99 00:05:33,547 --> 00:05:35,787 Speaker 4: And I guess the thing that was really disappointing about 100 00:05:35,787 --> 00:05:40,107 Speaker 4: it was that Ben Stokes signposted what they were trying 101 00:05:40,147 --> 00:05:43,827 Speaker 4: to do. He'd obviously recognized that the wicket was two pasts, 102 00:05:43,867 --> 00:05:46,227 Speaker 4: particularly at one end. I think when you bowl from 103 00:05:46,267 --> 00:05:50,787 Speaker 4: the temporarily named tim Southey end, I think there's a 104 00:05:50,827 --> 00:05:55,507 Speaker 4: real trampoline bounce and patches there which can catch you up. 105 00:05:55,547 --> 00:05:58,067 Speaker 4: So he stacked that off side field. He essentially put 106 00:05:58,107 --> 00:06:03,227 Speaker 4: a great wall of China off side field. Bowlers got 107 00:06:03,267 --> 00:06:06,987 Speaker 4: a lot of whip balls, offering the black Cats the 108 00:06:06,987 --> 00:06:09,147 Speaker 4: opportunity to try and score through that field, and they 109 00:06:09,227 --> 00:06:11,627 Speaker 4: just kept taking him up on the offer. I thought 110 00:06:11,747 --> 00:06:15,027 Speaker 4: Ratchen Avenger has had a but I mean, he's an 111 00:06:15,067 --> 00:06:17,227 Speaker 4: immense talent. Here's the future. I don't want to take 112 00:06:17,267 --> 00:06:18,747 Speaker 4: away from that at all, But I think he's had 113 00:06:18,747 --> 00:06:23,107 Speaker 4: a very poor series in terms of his just as 114 00:06:23,227 --> 00:06:26,227 Speaker 4: thought processes at decrease. He's been going out to poor shots. 115 00:06:26,947 --> 00:06:29,667 Speaker 4: Daryl Mitchell doesn't look quite the same player he did, 116 00:06:30,387 --> 00:06:34,947 Speaker 4: even sort of a twelve months ago Blundon forms being 117 00:06:35,587 --> 00:06:38,787 Speaker 4: weld documented, although he had that kind of cathartic sentry 118 00:06:39,107 --> 00:06:41,987 Speaker 4: in the Lost Cause down on the basin And yeah, 119 00:06:42,027 --> 00:06:45,827 Speaker 4: Glenn Phillips tipping to deep point was perhaps the worst 120 00:06:45,827 --> 00:06:49,267 Speaker 4: shot of the lot, And yeah, it was a shame 121 00:06:49,387 --> 00:06:53,427 Speaker 4: because he sometimes doesn't get a lot of opportunities Glenn Phillips, 122 00:06:53,467 --> 00:06:56,267 Speaker 4: because he's often kind of batting and trying to manipulate 123 00:06:56,307 --> 00:06:59,067 Speaker 4: the tale. But this was definitely an opportunity lost. 124 00:07:00,507 --> 00:07:04,827 Speaker 2: You said your in your newsletter yesterday that these things 125 00:07:04,867 --> 00:07:08,067 Speaker 2: are always easier to say with the benefit of hindsight, 126 00:07:08,267 --> 00:07:10,827 Speaker 2: but you don't need to rewrite history to come to 127 00:07:10,867 --> 00:07:14,427 Speaker 2: the conclusion that finding a place for Will Young from 128 00:07:14,507 --> 00:07:17,547 Speaker 2: the outset of the series could have been useful. And 129 00:07:17,587 --> 00:07:20,747 Speaker 2: then you went through the possibilities for how you could 130 00:07:20,787 --> 00:07:24,827 Speaker 2: shoe Hornhm into the team. It is a wonderful thing hindsight. 131 00:07:24,907 --> 00:07:27,107 Speaker 2: What did you make of Will Gang's batting yesterday? 132 00:07:28,027 --> 00:07:33,027 Speaker 4: Very pleasant, very well young, And I mean that in 133 00:07:33,107 --> 00:07:38,467 Speaker 4: both positive and slightly negative way. I think he's a 134 00:07:38,547 --> 00:07:42,347 Speaker 4: terrific talent who hasn't been utilized properly by new selling 135 00:07:42,347 --> 00:07:45,947 Speaker 4: cricket high performance. I really do think he's been let 136 00:07:45,987 --> 00:07:48,027 Speaker 4: down a lot of the time, shuffled up and down 137 00:07:48,067 --> 00:07:51,707 Speaker 4: the order, has never really been allowed to establish himself. 138 00:07:51,747 --> 00:07:54,227 Speaker 4: Probably goes to the probably every time he goes to 139 00:07:54,267 --> 00:07:57,027 Speaker 4: the crease, he's pretty much thinking, if I don't do 140 00:07:57,147 --> 00:07:59,947 Speaker 4: something here, this could be my last beat for a while. 141 00:08:00,467 --> 00:08:03,187 Speaker 4: And that's not a great way to play cricket when 142 00:08:03,187 --> 00:08:05,867 Speaker 4: you look at the faith puling other people. I think 143 00:08:05,867 --> 00:08:09,427 Speaker 4: you get I think you get results by giving players confidence. 144 00:08:09,907 --> 00:08:14,867 Speaker 4: Having said that he's played a lot of these extended cameos, 145 00:08:15,187 --> 00:08:19,827 Speaker 4: he hasn't actually grasped that opportunity as fleeting as been 146 00:08:19,907 --> 00:08:24,187 Speaker 4: and I thought yesterday was just that perfect example of that, 147 00:08:24,307 --> 00:08:28,827 Speaker 4: where he played some lovely shots. He's got shots all around. 148 00:08:29,507 --> 00:08:33,347 Speaker 4: A couple of those drives down the ground were you know, 149 00:08:33,387 --> 00:08:36,027 Speaker 4: as good. It's what Kane Williamson can produce. And I 150 00:08:36,027 --> 00:08:39,627 Speaker 4: can't think of a kind of higher echo Lade than that, really, 151 00:08:40,267 --> 00:08:42,667 Speaker 4: And yet you look at the scoreboard and it's forty 152 00:08:42,667 --> 00:08:45,027 Speaker 4: two and he's out and you got a good ball. 153 00:08:45,267 --> 00:08:47,747 Speaker 4: So he wasn't one of the ones that wafted is 154 00:08:47,787 --> 00:08:50,747 Speaker 4: wicked away into the off side field. He got a 155 00:08:50,827 --> 00:08:52,827 Speaker 4: genuinely good ball that he nicked to slip. And that 156 00:08:52,867 --> 00:08:55,147 Speaker 4: happens when you open the batting. And that's also why 157 00:08:55,147 --> 00:08:59,147 Speaker 4: I don't think openings ideal spot. But yeah, I mean 158 00:08:59,587 --> 00:09:03,587 Speaker 4: one hundred round open partnership with Latham, who also looked 159 00:09:03,987 --> 00:09:08,747 Speaker 4: really good, does make you wonder I mean, with the 160 00:09:08,787 --> 00:09:12,907 Speaker 4: incumbent sitting back on Wellington, is there a route back 161 00:09:12,947 --> 00:09:15,747 Speaker 4: to to the team. To Devin Conway, I certainly think 162 00:09:15,787 --> 00:09:19,107 Speaker 4: there is, but as an opening bedder, I'm not sure. 163 00:09:20,147 --> 00:09:22,387 Speaker 2: And this is as you say, we can't change the past, 164 00:09:22,427 --> 00:09:23,987 Speaker 2: but we can, you know, have a look at what 165 00:09:24,067 --> 00:09:26,107 Speaker 2: might happen in the future. And yeah, the last you're 166 00:09:26,147 --> 00:09:28,547 Speaker 2: so right about Will Young in terms of his he 167 00:09:28,627 --> 00:09:31,307 Speaker 2: called them cameos his last few mornings forty two, fifty one, 168 00:09:31,347 --> 00:09:34,467 Speaker 2: seventy one, twenty three, eighteen forty eight, not out thirty three. 169 00:09:34,627 --> 00:09:38,267 Speaker 2: That takes us through the Indian series obviously, and the 170 00:09:38,307 --> 00:09:41,707 Speaker 2: first and things here in Hamilton. I just worried Dylan that, 171 00:09:41,827 --> 00:09:44,067 Speaker 2: you know, when Test cricket rolls around again, it'll all 172 00:09:44,067 --> 00:09:46,747 Speaker 2: be forgotten again, you know, don't blay test matagers again. 173 00:09:46,787 --> 00:09:48,947 Speaker 2: To what middle of next year, I feel like Will 174 00:09:48,987 --> 00:09:51,187 Speaker 2: Young won't be in that team. 175 00:09:51,627 --> 00:09:55,587 Speaker 4: Yeah, I kind of think he will be. He is, 176 00:09:56,067 --> 00:09:58,907 Speaker 4: he's centrally contracted. He wants to play for New Zealand 177 00:09:59,507 --> 00:10:02,747 Speaker 4: as far as some where, he's kind of shown no 178 00:10:02,867 --> 00:10:08,267 Speaker 4: inclination to join the franchise circuit, although he certainly got 179 00:10:08,267 --> 00:10:14,667 Speaker 4: the skills to play in those as a gap feeling. 180 00:10:14,787 --> 00:10:17,347 Speaker 4: It's not based on anything other than I kind of 181 00:10:17,347 --> 00:10:20,387 Speaker 4: get the feeling that this might be his time. Now, 182 00:10:22,547 --> 00:10:25,107 Speaker 4: this is at the end of a World Test Championship cycle. 183 00:10:25,267 --> 00:10:27,027 Speaker 4: They need to think ahead to the next World Test 184 00:10:27,107 --> 00:10:33,627 Speaker 4: Championship cycle. The Conway Latham Open partnership feels broken. It 185 00:10:33,667 --> 00:10:38,547 Speaker 4: feels a reparably broken again. I say this kind of 186 00:10:39,587 --> 00:10:42,547 Speaker 4: untend to hook slightly because I don't think opening as 187 00:10:42,547 --> 00:10:45,427 Speaker 4: will Young's best position. But based on what happened, yes, 188 00:10:45,427 --> 00:10:48,187 Speaker 4: so I kind of feel like they will start the 189 00:10:48,227 --> 00:10:51,627 Speaker 4: next World Test Championship cycle with Young and Latham as 190 00:10:51,667 --> 00:10:52,547 Speaker 4: the only compare. 191 00:10:53,427 --> 00:10:54,707 Speaker 2: It just occurred to me when I was at the 192 00:10:54,707 --> 00:10:58,427 Speaker 2: school board earlier that England didn't use their spinner Shower 193 00:10:58,707 --> 00:11:01,907 Speaker 2: Bashia at all. I don't think he's injured as he 194 00:11:01,987 --> 00:11:05,587 Speaker 2: they went what ninety seven overs without using this spinner. 195 00:11:06,987 --> 00:11:09,467 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think they will have definitely have plans for 196 00:11:09,587 --> 00:11:12,027 Speaker 4: him playing a big role in the third innings of 197 00:11:12,107 --> 00:11:16,627 Speaker 4: this match. And there was always just enough encouragement and 198 00:11:16,667 --> 00:11:19,987 Speaker 4: sometimes more than just enough encouragement. Actu'd keep the Seamas on. 199 00:11:20,667 --> 00:11:24,867 Speaker 4: I thought Ben Stokes bowled some pearlers, I mean his figures. 200 00:11:24,867 --> 00:11:26,827 Speaker 4: I think he took one for ninety one at the end, 201 00:11:26,827 --> 00:11:29,307 Speaker 4: which was really outsladdering, but he was swinging at around 202 00:11:29,347 --> 00:11:33,347 Speaker 4: corners both ways, which again was probably encouragement to keep 203 00:11:33,747 --> 00:11:37,147 Speaker 4: the seamas on. So yeah, I wouldn't read too much 204 00:11:37,187 --> 00:11:41,467 Speaker 4: into that. I will see what approached John Lacan takes 205 00:11:41,467 --> 00:11:44,867 Speaker 4: with He's got Sandner in the eleven who's obviously on 206 00:11:44,907 --> 00:11:47,267 Speaker 4: a high have given that the last time he bowled 207 00:11:47,267 --> 00:11:49,947 Speaker 4: in the Test he came away with thirteen wickets and 208 00:11:50,587 --> 00:11:54,787 Speaker 4: he's just played potentially his best Test innings. I know 209 00:11:54,867 --> 00:11:57,187 Speaker 4: he has got a Test one hundred against England, but 210 00:11:57,267 --> 00:11:59,987 Speaker 4: that was not a very, very very flat wicket at 211 00:12:00,027 --> 00:12:04,107 Speaker 4: mouth Longanui. I think he got it superbly here, so 212 00:12:04,547 --> 00:12:06,747 Speaker 4: his confidence is probably as high as it ever been 213 00:12:06,787 --> 00:12:07,587 Speaker 4: in the Test arena. 214 00:12:09,107 --> 00:12:11,707 Speaker 2: How will you remember Tim Saudi as a Test cricketer. 215 00:12:14,147 --> 00:12:21,267 Speaker 4: I personally remember him absolute great, and maybe maybe less 216 00:12:21,267 --> 00:12:25,987 Speaker 4: as an absolute individual great, certainly as one half of 217 00:12:27,787 --> 00:12:31,187 Speaker 4: an all time great opening bowlding partnership. I thought the 218 00:12:31,267 --> 00:12:33,387 Speaker 4: Saudi right arm and bay swing from one end and 219 00:12:33,467 --> 00:12:38,027 Speaker 4: Trent Bolt left arm from the other was honest day, 220 00:12:38,067 --> 00:12:40,907 Speaker 4: it was just a joy to watch. That's how I'll 221 00:12:40,947 --> 00:12:45,427 Speaker 4: remember him. I remember him. Interestingly enough, I was on 222 00:12:45,507 --> 00:12:49,227 Speaker 4: his first overseas away tour as a player. I must 223 00:12:49,307 --> 00:12:52,307 Speaker 4: quick the ad, but I was reporting in the the 224 00:12:52,307 --> 00:12:54,987 Speaker 4: black Caps tour to England in two thousand and eight. 225 00:12:55,027 --> 00:12:57,107 Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure I've got the date right there. And 226 00:12:57,147 --> 00:13:00,947 Speaker 4: it was the first overseas far away and he just 227 00:13:00,987 --> 00:13:04,427 Speaker 4: looked like this. It sounds like kind I don't really 228 00:13:04,467 --> 00:13:06,467 Speaker 4: mean it this way, but it's this kind of goofy 229 00:13:06,947 --> 00:13:09,787 Speaker 4: country kid who was living his dream. And then he 230 00:13:09,827 --> 00:13:12,467 Speaker 4: actually realized that that's exactly what he was. He was 231 00:13:12,547 --> 00:13:15,707 Speaker 4: this country kid. He became far as goopy as he 232 00:13:15,747 --> 00:13:18,587 Speaker 4: got older, but he was this country kid living in 233 00:13:18,627 --> 00:13:21,387 Speaker 4: his dream. And all he ever wanted to do was 234 00:13:21,787 --> 00:13:24,507 Speaker 4: bold for New Zealand and hit sixers. And he's lived 235 00:13:24,547 --> 00:13:25,227 Speaker 4: out that dream. 236 00:13:25,267 --> 00:13:27,987 Speaker 5: And yeah, I think he's. 237 00:13:27,867 --> 00:13:30,107 Speaker 4: Been a magnificent servant. All is everyone to do is 238 00:13:30,107 --> 00:13:33,787 Speaker 4: play for New Zealand. He's never he's always taken up 239 00:13:33,827 --> 00:13:38,947 Speaker 4: a central contract. He plays the ND when he gets 240 00:13:38,947 --> 00:13:42,667 Speaker 4: a chance, he plays all three formats. Whenever he gets 241 00:13:42,707 --> 00:13:44,987 Speaker 4: the chance. He never turns down the opportunity to play. 242 00:13:45,947 --> 00:13:48,387 Speaker 4: He's just been a terrific servant in New Zealand cricket 243 00:13:48,427 --> 00:13:50,747 Speaker 4: who I think a lot of the time is underappreciated. 244 00:13:51,387 --> 00:13:53,907 Speaker 4: Having said that, and you kind of knew there was 245 00:13:53,947 --> 00:13:58,187 Speaker 4: back coming here, didn't you. You can't. You cannot analyze 246 00:13:58,707 --> 00:14:04,827 Speaker 4: Tim Southey's career without taking this extended goodbye into account. 247 00:14:04,947 --> 00:14:08,667 Speaker 4: And you've got to be honest and admit that the 248 00:14:08,747 --> 00:14:14,067 Speaker 4: last eighteen months had been poor and he probably has 249 00:14:14,187 --> 00:14:18,627 Speaker 4: not merited his place in the team, certainly for the 250 00:14:18,707 --> 00:14:22,187 Speaker 4: last six months. So that's that's a really awkward part 251 00:14:22,307 --> 00:14:24,547 Speaker 4: of the analysis that has to go into an entire 252 00:14:24,627 --> 00:14:28,307 Speaker 4: to Solli picture. But we also have a little bit 253 00:14:28,307 --> 00:14:30,507 Speaker 4: from recency bias, and I think at the moment we're 254 00:14:30,547 --> 00:14:34,427 Speaker 4: looking too much at that part and not enough at 255 00:14:34,507 --> 00:14:39,827 Speaker 4: this magnificent foundation. You know, he'd laid for twelve years 256 00:14:39,867 --> 00:14:45,387 Speaker 4: before before as I say, this really awkward, painfully extracted goodbye. 257 00:14:45,827 --> 00:14:48,147 Speaker 2: Yeah, very well said. And you're right about the dates too. 258 00:14:48,147 --> 00:14:49,627 Speaker 2: You've got the bang. On the middle of two thousand 259 00:14:49,627 --> 00:14:50,947 Speaker 2: and eight, he was part of that team that went 260 00:14:50,987 --> 00:14:54,667 Speaker 2: to England. He played a test at Lord's right well 261 00:14:54,667 --> 00:14:57,147 Speaker 2: back to this current one to finish Dylan England five 262 00:14:57,187 --> 00:15:00,827 Speaker 2: without loss. You know, the way they advanced test matches 263 00:15:00,867 --> 00:15:03,587 Speaker 2: so quickly, they could have three hundred by stumps, couldn't they? 264 00:15:03,627 --> 00:15:06,467 Speaker 2: What would be a good result at stumps today for 265 00:15:06,587 --> 00:15:07,107 Speaker 2: New Zealand. 266 00:15:08,707 --> 00:15:11,507 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think a good result for New Zealand would 267 00:15:11,507 --> 00:15:14,627 Speaker 4: be they've actually had some joy at getting wickets at 268 00:15:14,667 --> 00:15:18,467 Speaker 4: the top, and I think if that trend continues and 269 00:15:18,507 --> 00:15:20,907 Speaker 4: they get really wickets at the top, what's a really 270 00:15:20,947 --> 00:15:24,747 Speaker 4: good result for them is to actually chip away at 271 00:15:24,747 --> 00:15:28,067 Speaker 4: that midlorder like England had in New Zealand's midlorder, to 272 00:15:28,187 --> 00:15:31,067 Speaker 4: not let them get away, to have some to show 273 00:15:31,107 --> 00:15:36,107 Speaker 4: that they've got some plans in place for Harry Brooks aggression. 274 00:15:36,467 --> 00:15:38,267 Speaker 4: And I call it ego, and I don't mean ego 275 00:15:38,267 --> 00:15:40,187 Speaker 4: in a bad way when I'm talking about Harry brook 276 00:15:40,227 --> 00:15:44,547 Speaker 4: but the fact that he is the kind of the 277 00:15:44,587 --> 00:15:46,147 Speaker 4: big man at the crease. He wants to be there, 278 00:15:46,467 --> 00:15:48,147 Speaker 4: he wants to score all the time. I just want 279 00:15:48,187 --> 00:15:50,387 Speaker 4: to see that New Zealand has been thinking about that 280 00:15:50,467 --> 00:15:53,347 Speaker 4: and actually can counter that aggression with some well thought 281 00:15:53,347 --> 00:15:53,987 Speaker 4: out plans. 282 00:15:55,187 --> 00:15:57,307 Speaker 2: All right, well we'll see if that plays out. Tim 283 00:15:57,347 --> 00:16:00,147 Speaker 2: South is about to take the ball from the Tim 284 00:16:00,267 --> 00:16:01,987 Speaker 2: sow they end, So we'll let you get back to 285 00:16:02,027 --> 00:16:05,347 Speaker 2: your sports viewing.

Twelve twenty four, we can 313 00:17:37,427 --> 00:17:40,067 Speaker 2: talk some cricket. I'd like to talk some cricket. The 314 00:17:40,107 --> 00:17:43,867 Speaker 2: Will Young thing really interests me. Unfortunately, as I said 315 00:17:43,907 --> 00:17:46,307 Speaker 2: to Dylan, I feel like what will happen is that 316 00:17:46,387 --> 00:17:48,467 Speaker 2: because there are no more Test matches after this one 317 00:17:48,547 --> 00:17:51,187 Speaker 2: until the middle of next year, even if Will Young 318 00:17:51,227 --> 00:17:53,147 Speaker 2: gets runs in the second innings, which he probably will 319 00:17:53,227 --> 00:17:56,067 Speaker 2: given his recent form, I just wonder whether when they 320 00:17:56,107 --> 00:17:59,027 Speaker 2: get back together as a red ball side, whether it'll 321 00:17:59,067 --> 00:18:02,067 Speaker 2: just be forgotten again because of the time that will 322 00:18:02,107 --> 00:18:05,987 Speaker 2: have passed. Because there has to be a place for 323 00:18:06,027 --> 00:18:11,907 Speaker 2: Will You in this team on his ability and recent 324 00:18:12,107 --> 00:18:16,627 Speaker 2: form alone, it would just and as Dylan said, it 325 00:18:16,667 --> 00:18:22,427 Speaker 2: feels like he's been mistreated by the selectors of the 326 00:18:23,307 --> 00:18:26,347 Speaker 2: black Caps Test team. So where do you see him 327 00:18:26,387 --> 00:18:29,747 Speaker 2: fitting in? There are a couple of options. In fact, 328 00:18:29,747 --> 00:18:32,067 Speaker 2: there are three or four options, I think, but I'll 329 00:18:32,067 --> 00:18:33,747 Speaker 2: be keen to hear where you think he fits into 330 00:18:33,747 --> 00:18:35,787 Speaker 2: the New Zealand test lineup. Our eight hundred and eighty 331 00:18:35,827 --> 00:18:38,907 Speaker 2: ten eighty is our number. Keen to kick this around 332 00:18:38,947 --> 00:18:41,147 Speaker 2: with you. Nine two ninety two. We spoke about Tim 333 00:18:41,147 --> 00:18:43,787 Speaker 2: Southy yesterday but not everybody could get through. So if 334 00:18:43,787 --> 00:18:46,907 Speaker 2: you've got some particular memories of Tim Southy which you'd 335 00:18:46,947 --> 00:18:49,867 Speaker 2: like to share, then would love to talk to you 336 00:18:49,907 --> 00:18:54,227 Speaker 2: about that. He's currently coming towards the end of justice 337 00:18:54,427 --> 00:18:58,587 Speaker 2: first over and see this is the difficulty he's with 338 00:18:58,667 --> 00:19:02,267 Speaker 2: away England play. He's already starting to go for a 339 00:19:02,307 --> 00:19:06,667 Speaker 2: couple We'll get Andy to absolutely confirm this, but I 340 00:19:06,707 --> 00:19:09,467 Speaker 2: think he's gone for twelve off his first over, and 341 00:19:09,507 --> 00:19:12,267 Speaker 2: that is the second over of the innings, and he's 342 00:19:12,307 --> 00:19:15,587 Speaker 2: gone for twelve off the first five balls. I've just 343 00:19:15,627 --> 00:19:18,107 Speaker 2: gone down the ground again. He has gone for sixteen 344 00:19:18,267 --> 00:19:24,547 Speaker 2: runs in his first over. This this is such a 345 00:19:24,587 --> 00:19:29,067 Speaker 2: shame because, as Dylan said, and he said it so well, 346 00:19:29,187 --> 00:19:32,787 Speaker 2: so eloquently, you know that the last couple of years, 347 00:19:32,827 --> 00:19:36,227 Speaker 2: the extended farewell which has not lived up to Tim 348 00:19:36,267 --> 00:19:43,347 Speaker 2: Southy's career stats just poses this danger of overshadowing what 349 00:19:43,467 --> 00:19:51,187 Speaker 2: has been an absolutely exceptional, exceptional Test career. It's just 350 00:19:51,227 --> 00:19:57,827 Speaker 2: the last couple of the last couple of years I 351 00:19:57,827 --> 00:20:01,507 Speaker 2: think you'd say that have really affected the way we're 352 00:20:01,547 --> 00:20:04,907 Speaker 2: going to remember Tim southeen. We shouldn't have recency bias. 353 00:20:04,987 --> 00:20:07,467 Speaker 2: I know it's tough, but we shouldn't. But here it is. 354 00:20:07,507 --> 00:20:12,387 Speaker 2: He's just gone for sixteen and his first over with 355 00:20:12,507 --> 00:20:16,667 Speaker 2: the new ball. Across this series, he hasn't been our 356 00:20:16,707 --> 00:20:18,947 Speaker 2: best bowler. In fact, among the scene bowl as he's 357 00:20:18,987 --> 00:20:25,267 Speaker 2: probably been the least effective. Anyway, it's hope that he 358 00:20:25,307 --> 00:20:27,267 Speaker 2: can rise from what has happened in his first over 359 00:20:27,307 --> 00:20:32,067 Speaker 2: and have some impact as the as the Test continues. 360 00:20:32,347 --> 00:20:36,947 Speaker 6: Hello, David, Hey Jason, I was just making sure, apart 361 00:20:36,987 --> 00:20:40,307 Speaker 6: from confluence season, making sure that after yesterday's Phoenix debacle, 362 00:20:40,747 --> 00:20:41,627 Speaker 6: you're all right. 363 00:20:42,667 --> 00:20:44,267 Speaker 2: Are you rigging to teck on my health? 364 00:20:45,227 --> 00:20:46,227 Speaker 6: Well, partially, but. 365 00:20:47,747 --> 00:20:49,427 Speaker 7: I'm okay, don't talk a bit of cricket. 366 00:20:49,427 --> 00:20:52,347 Speaker 6: But yes, no, I'm not sure it's the Phoenix the 367 00:20:52,347 --> 00:20:54,547 Speaker 6: season this year, but anyway, that's another matter. 368 00:20:55,747 --> 00:20:58,267 Speaker 2: Just break it well, you just I mean, I think 369 00:20:58,267 --> 00:21:01,387 Speaker 2: the I think they'll be okay, it feels to me. 370 00:21:01,467 --> 00:21:03,387 Speaker 2: I said this to a couple of people usday, David, 371 00:21:03,507 --> 00:21:07,467 Speaker 2: and sorry to hijack the cricket conversation, but I think 372 00:21:07,507 --> 00:21:10,067 Speaker 2: they'll still make the top six. But they felt to 373 00:21:10,107 --> 00:21:12,027 Speaker 2: me like a team that will be fifth or sixth 374 00:21:12,467 --> 00:21:14,827 Speaker 2: this season, rather than challenging for the top two as 375 00:21:14,867 --> 00:21:17,347 Speaker 2: per last season. I also think the Phoenix of last 376 00:21:17,347 --> 00:21:18,827 Speaker 2: season would have won that game yesterday. 377 00:21:20,227 --> 00:21:24,227 Speaker 6: Yes, yes, yes, look, I mean yeah it was a 378 00:21:24,267 --> 00:21:26,707 Speaker 6: shame actually, just very quickly just on there. What sort 379 00:21:26,707 --> 00:21:28,787 Speaker 6: of crowd was it there? Because you can never till 380 00:21:28,827 --> 00:21:30,187 Speaker 6: really on my television. 381 00:21:30,547 --> 00:21:33,267 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll find the number for you. I didn't actually 382 00:21:33,507 --> 00:21:35,187 Speaker 2: I didn't have my eyes on the screen when they 383 00:21:35,187 --> 00:21:37,867 Speaker 2: flashed it up. But I know that these numbers are available, David, 384 00:21:37,907 --> 00:21:40,507 Speaker 2: so let me find it. Find it for you. What 385 00:21:40,547 --> 00:21:41,307 Speaker 2: are your thoughts on the. 386 00:21:41,227 --> 00:21:46,267 Speaker 6: Cricket Well, I mean give me. Ian Smith on another 387 00:21:46,347 --> 00:21:48,987 Speaker 6: channel will be saying why I would say how they 388 00:21:49,067 --> 00:21:51,347 Speaker 6: get the new ball, and again the same thing. It's 389 00:21:51,427 --> 00:21:56,747 Speaker 6: just sentimentality. And I thought this yesterday. This team has 390 00:21:56,867 --> 00:21:59,667 Speaker 6: gone as far as the coach Gary Stead can take it. 391 00:21:59,707 --> 00:22:03,627 Speaker 6: I think I don't seriously think he could take it. 392 00:22:03,667 --> 00:22:06,227 Speaker 6: I mean, he's got a good enough record in terms 393 00:22:06,227 --> 00:22:11,147 Speaker 6: of India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, the West Indies, South Africa, 394 00:22:11,187 --> 00:22:12,667 Speaker 6: if you really want to say that, but against the 395 00:22:12,747 --> 00:22:15,667 Speaker 6: Aussies in England. Know, and I'm not sure that he 396 00:22:15,707 --> 00:22:18,507 Speaker 6: could take this team much further now than it is, 397 00:22:18,547 --> 00:22:20,587 Speaker 6: if that makes sense, and particularly with a big year 398 00:22:20,587 --> 00:22:23,467 Speaker 6: and twenty six ahead. But I was seriously trying to 399 00:22:23,507 --> 00:22:27,907 Speaker 6: think who could replace him, And I'm strictly from a 400 00:22:27,907 --> 00:22:30,027 Speaker 6: cricket point of view to think who would want it 401 00:22:30,107 --> 00:22:30,707 Speaker 6: or be who. 402 00:22:30,587 --> 00:22:31,107 Speaker 5: Could do it. 403 00:22:33,347 --> 00:22:38,027 Speaker 6: But yeah, just disappointing this team at the moment after India, 404 00:22:38,067 --> 00:22:39,947 Speaker 6: and as I said to you, India was a bit lucky. 405 00:22:40,267 --> 00:22:44,307 Speaker 6: You have to take that to account. But there's chances 406 00:22:44,507 --> 00:22:46,267 Speaker 6: this will be three nil by Tuesday night. 407 00:22:46,867 --> 00:22:52,667 Speaker 2: Yeah. Look, I think the tenure of Gary Stead, I 408 00:22:52,667 --> 00:22:55,827 Speaker 2: think is coming to its natural end, its natural conclusion, David, 409 00:22:56,107 --> 00:22:59,307 Speaker 2: And it feels to me this is that he's contracted 410 00:22:59,307 --> 00:23:01,587 Speaker 2: to the end of the World Test Championship cycle, which 411 00:23:01,787 --> 00:23:05,067 Speaker 2: for New Zealand is the end of this current Test match. Yep, 412 00:23:05,107 --> 00:23:07,867 Speaker 2: he'll take them through the white ball stuff after Christmas 413 00:23:08,227 --> 00:23:10,187 Speaker 2: and into the new year, but then I think that 414 00:23:10,307 --> 00:23:12,747 Speaker 2: there will be a change. As far as who could 415 00:23:12,747 --> 00:23:13,907 Speaker 2: do it, I think there will be a lot of 416 00:23:13,947 --> 00:23:15,747 Speaker 2: people who would want to do it. I think the 417 00:23:15,867 --> 00:23:18,627 Speaker 2: raw materials are there for New Zealand to you know, 418 00:23:18,747 --> 00:23:23,427 Speaker 2: to to you know, refresh themselves into a very good 419 00:23:23,427 --> 00:23:26,547 Speaker 2: cricket team. I was talking yesterday about the fast bowlers 420 00:23:26,547 --> 00:23:27,827 Speaker 2: who are still going to be there. You know, you 421 00:23:27,827 --> 00:23:31,067 Speaker 2: look at Sears, O'Rourke, Jamison if he comes back, Nathan 422 00:23:31,107 --> 00:23:33,427 Speaker 2: Smith has just begun, Matt Henry's going to be around 423 00:23:33,427 --> 00:23:35,107 Speaker 2: for a while, and then you know in the bat 424 00:23:35,267 --> 00:23:37,307 Speaker 2: is the likes of Rich and Ravendra, and there are 425 00:23:37,307 --> 00:23:40,587 Speaker 2: guys getting runs at domestic level as well who will 426 00:23:40,627 --> 00:23:43,187 Speaker 2: force their case. So I think a lot of people 427 00:23:43,267 --> 00:23:46,547 Speaker 2: would be interested in it. I just you look around domestically, 428 00:23:46,907 --> 00:23:49,867 Speaker 2: there's no obvious heir apparent. As you say, maybe it's 429 00:23:49,867 --> 00:23:52,707 Speaker 2: an overseas coach, maybe it's a Steve Rickson type person. 430 00:23:54,467 --> 00:23:56,307 Speaker 6: And I mean I was a great fan of coach Diriction, 431 00:23:56,387 --> 00:24:02,187 Speaker 6: to be fair, the thing being the coach role. Now, 432 00:24:02,587 --> 00:24:05,667 Speaker 6: the one thing Stead ahead in his favor of all 433 00:24:05,707 --> 00:24:07,827 Speaker 6: the coaches we've had in the last thirty years was 434 00:24:07,867 --> 00:24:11,667 Speaker 6: that stead could travel. He wasn't needed at home that 435 00:24:11,827 --> 00:24:14,307 Speaker 6: wasn't a young family with young children, and he couldn't 436 00:24:14,307 --> 00:24:17,907 Speaker 6: be away. He actually could go away. And so one 437 00:24:17,947 --> 00:24:20,747 Speaker 6: of the criteria of any coach that's going to take 438 00:24:20,787 --> 00:24:23,747 Speaker 6: this job is that you do not have any impediments 439 00:24:23,827 --> 00:24:25,787 Speaker 6: like you've got to be at home for the kids 440 00:24:25,827 --> 00:24:29,067 Speaker 6: for sports on a Saturday or whatever. Your kids have 441 00:24:29,147 --> 00:24:31,507 Speaker 6: gone up, grown up, whatever. Your wife is happy for 442 00:24:31,547 --> 00:24:33,027 Speaker 6: you to go around the world and she can spend 443 00:24:33,027 --> 00:24:35,587 Speaker 6: on your credit card and who cares. But the find 444 00:24:35,587 --> 00:24:37,747 Speaker 6: of it is, how do you find somebody like that? 445 00:24:37,827 --> 00:24:40,187 Speaker 6: What do you do the advertise that's saying, please make 446 00:24:40,227 --> 00:24:43,107 Speaker 6: sure that you are available twenty four to seven, et cetera, 447 00:24:43,147 --> 00:24:46,467 Speaker 6: et cetera. We've been fortuedous were stead that way. But 448 00:24:46,547 --> 00:24:48,907 Speaker 6: I'm just not sure who it is that you could 449 00:24:48,907 --> 00:24:52,227 Speaker 6: find that seriously would give up half a year of 450 00:24:52,387 --> 00:24:54,587 Speaker 6: touring with the national team. 451 00:24:54,987 --> 00:24:57,667 Speaker 2: Well, that's what Brendan McCullum does, David. And look, he's 452 00:24:57,667 --> 00:24:59,947 Speaker 2: a guy who I imagine if we had Brendan McCullum 453 00:24:59,947 --> 00:25:01,947 Speaker 2: as a coach, be amazing. But I know that for 454 00:25:01,987 --> 00:25:05,707 Speaker 2: a fact he in his contract with England flies in 455 00:25:05,907 --> 00:25:08,067 Speaker 2: a week before every series and it's going to be 456 00:25:08,107 --> 00:25:09,667 Speaker 2: a lot busier for him in the new year because 457 00:25:09,667 --> 00:25:11,907 Speaker 2: he's taking over his white ball coach as well. But 458 00:25:11,947 --> 00:25:15,067 Speaker 2: for his time as Test coach, he basically flies in 459 00:25:15,507 --> 00:25:17,947 Speaker 2: for the week before the series wherever it may be 460 00:25:18,067 --> 00:25:21,067 Speaker 2: in England or elsewhere, and then stays with him for 461 00:25:21,107 --> 00:25:22,987 Speaker 2: the series, then flies back out again and his family 462 00:25:23,027 --> 00:25:27,027 Speaker 2: travel with him, so he basically uplifts his life, drops 463 00:25:27,027 --> 00:25:31,147 Speaker 2: it down. We're of England, are playing cricket and happy days, 464 00:25:31,427 --> 00:25:33,187 Speaker 2: so I don't know where the New Zealand cricket. I'm 465 00:25:33,187 --> 00:25:34,387 Speaker 2: going to be at home to the same sort of 466 00:25:34,387 --> 00:25:38,387 Speaker 2: thing as a fly in, flyout coach. But as I've 467 00:25:38,427 --> 00:25:42,547 Speaker 2: often said David, in the search for innovative solutions, nothing 468 00:25:42,547 --> 00:25:43,507 Speaker 2: should be off the table. 469 00:25:44,507 --> 00:25:48,907 Speaker 6: I'll tell you something, Jason, and that is what things actually. 470 00:25:49,347 --> 00:25:53,387 Speaker 6: If England in twenty five and they've got eleven Test 471 00:25:53,467 --> 00:25:57,227 Speaker 6: matches next year, they've got one against some barb where laws, 472 00:25:57,227 --> 00:25:59,067 Speaker 6: they've got five against India, but they've got the Big 473 00:25:59,067 --> 00:26:02,987 Speaker 6: five in Australia. If Australia, England would have win the 474 00:26:02,987 --> 00:26:06,267 Speaker 6: ashes convincingly next year, it'll be su Brenda McCullum. 475 00:26:06,867 --> 00:26:07,667 Speaker 8: That's a certainty. 476 00:26:08,387 --> 00:26:10,867 Speaker 6: But the other thing is just on the coach thing. 477 00:26:11,307 --> 00:26:13,547 Speaker 6: He's one of the box. He's out of the box. 478 00:26:13,587 --> 00:26:17,267 Speaker 6: They thought out of that, we won't have that. And 479 00:26:18,307 --> 00:26:21,067 Speaker 6: actually just talking about that new CEO of New Zealand Cricket, 480 00:26:21,107 --> 00:26:26,907 Speaker 6: Scott how whatever his last name is, congratulations to him 481 00:26:26,947 --> 00:26:29,267 Speaker 6: for getting a third Test against the West Indies. His 482 00:26:29,387 --> 00:26:30,707 Speaker 6: predecessor David. 483 00:26:30,467 --> 00:26:32,147 Speaker 8: White, No, no, we couldn't do that. 484 00:26:32,147 --> 00:26:35,067 Speaker 6: We can't spend any money, no, no whereas this guy 485 00:26:35,067 --> 00:26:37,947 Speaker 6: at least has got some imagination and foresight to capitalize 486 00:26:37,987 --> 00:26:40,387 Speaker 6: and test cricket. So that is one reason why it'll 487 00:26:40,387 --> 00:26:44,267 Speaker 6: never be a Sir David White, think chriss but the 488 00:26:44,347 --> 00:26:46,307 Speaker 6: fact that it is at least this guy has got that. 489 00:26:46,667 --> 00:26:48,907 Speaker 6: I'll just give you one name for a potential coach 490 00:26:49,587 --> 00:26:51,627 Speaker 6: if you were thinking about it, and that would be 491 00:26:51,667 --> 00:26:54,187 Speaker 6: potentially Ross Taylor. He'd be one of the only people 492 00:26:54,627 --> 00:26:56,867 Speaker 6: that I could think of, whether he'd want it and 493 00:26:56,867 --> 00:26:58,427 Speaker 6: whether or not in his own cricket didn't want them. 494 00:26:58,467 --> 00:27:02,427 Speaker 2: But well it's it's an idea, David, It's an idea. 495 00:27:02,947 --> 00:27:06,107 Speaker 2: Seven three eighty four was the attendance yesterday at the 496 00:27:06,147 --> 00:27:07,787 Speaker 2: thing next game, Just to put a cap on that, 497 00:27:08,067 --> 00:27:09,827 Speaker 2: seven three eight four good to chat to you mate, 498 00:27:09,827 --> 00:27:12,827 Speaker 2: Thanks for calling in. Yeah, I don't think I've never 499 00:27:12,827 --> 00:27:15,547 Speaker 2: heard Ross Taylor express any interest at all in coaching. 500 00:27:16,187 --> 00:27:18,787 Speaker 2: He certainly hasn't done it domestically, not that that is 501 00:27:18,867 --> 00:27:23,587 Speaker 2: necessarily a prerequisite. Look at Brendan McCullum. I don't think 502 00:27:23,587 --> 00:27:26,947 Speaker 2: it ever coached at all Addie before in the IPL, 503 00:27:27,027 --> 00:27:30,027 Speaker 2: sorry the IPL, but he'd never coached Red Bull cricket, Addie. 504 00:27:30,187 --> 00:27:31,787 Speaker 2: But it was out of the box, as David said, 505 00:27:31,787 --> 00:27:36,147 Speaker 2: and out of the box thought from from the powers 506 00:27:36,187 --> 00:27:39,027 Speaker 2: that be an English cricket to say, you know what, 507 00:27:39,067 --> 00:27:40,987 Speaker 2: that guy's got a bit about him and he has 508 00:27:41,307 --> 00:27:43,187 Speaker 2: he has now he's going to take over the White 509 00:27:43,187 --> 00:27:44,627 Speaker 2: bull side? Are we just as good as that? 510 00:27:44,707 --> 00:27:45,147 Speaker 8: At that. 511 00:27:47,107 --> 00:27:49,027 Speaker 2: Twenty six away from one, I've got to get a breakaway, George, 512 00:27:49,067 --> 00:27:50,867 Speaker 2: please hold mate, want to chat to you. There is 513 00:27:50,867 --> 00:27:52,227 Speaker 2: a spear line if you want to jump aboard O 514 00:27:52,307 --> 00:27:54,707 Speaker 2: eight hundred and eighty ten eighty nine two nine to 515 00:27:54,747 --> 00:27:58,107 Speaker 2: two on text. It's more than just a game. 516 00:27:58,427 --> 00:28:02,547 Speaker 1: Weekends for it with Jason Pine and GJ. Gunnohomes, New 517 00:28:02,627 --> 00:28:06,707 Speaker 1: Zealand's most trusted home builder news Dogs, they'd be to one. 518 00:28:06,747 --> 00:28:09,787 Speaker 2: Why not? Stephen Fleming asks this text. That is a 519 00:28:09,907 --> 00:28:12,787 Speaker 2: very good shout, A very good shout. I think Stephen 520 00:28:12,827 --> 00:28:16,387 Speaker 2: Fleming as black Caps coach would be hugely popular. And 521 00:28:16,427 --> 00:28:18,147 Speaker 2: would he want to do it? That's the thing. Would 522 00:28:18,147 --> 00:28:20,267 Speaker 2: he want to do it? Thanks for holding George? How 523 00:28:20,307 --> 00:28:20,987 Speaker 2: are you mate? 524 00:28:21,627 --> 00:28:22,227 Speaker 5: Some good things? 525 00:28:22,267 --> 00:28:23,267 Speaker 3: Piney, how are you mate? 526 00:28:23,547 --> 00:28:27,067 Speaker 2: Very good? Very good. I'm just going to say, enjoying 527 00:28:27,067 --> 00:28:28,667 Speaker 2: the cricket. I think I'm enjoying the cricket. Are you 528 00:28:28,747 --> 00:28:29,467 Speaker 2: enjoying the cricket? 529 00:28:30,427 --> 00:28:32,667 Speaker 3: I love him the cricket. A and yeah, two quick 530 00:28:32,667 --> 00:28:35,987 Speaker 3: comments if I've got time, Tim said, and maybe will young, 531 00:28:36,947 --> 00:28:38,667 Speaker 3: but hey, really I think it's a really good idea. 532 00:28:38,667 --> 00:28:41,267 Speaker 3: You've done a bit of a tribute to Tim Saudia 533 00:28:41,587 --> 00:28:45,587 Speaker 3: over yesterday and today, because his recent form is somewhat 534 00:28:45,587 --> 00:28:49,347 Speaker 3: overshadowing what a fantastic servant he's been for the game, 535 00:28:49,387 --> 00:28:52,387 Speaker 3: and he spearheaded the very strong attack through this sort 536 00:28:52,387 --> 00:28:56,427 Speaker 3: of golden era. My favorite memory of Tim Soudy is 537 00:28:56,467 --> 00:28:58,467 Speaker 3: actually a white ball one, even though I know red 538 00:28:58,467 --> 00:29:01,467 Speaker 3: ball's probably has been as strong as suit. But it 539 00:29:01,507 --> 00:29:04,147 Speaker 3: was the twenty fifteen Cricket World cut down in Wellington 540 00:29:04,147 --> 00:29:06,627 Speaker 3: and he got seven for thirty three. I think it 541 00:29:06,707 --> 00:29:08,227 Speaker 3: was against the English and it was just one of 542 00:29:08,267 --> 00:29:11,627 Speaker 3: those magical medical afternoons in the Capitol. He just had 543 00:29:11,667 --> 00:29:14,107 Speaker 3: the ball on a string. I think they had five 544 00:29:14,147 --> 00:29:15,867 Speaker 3: slips in the gully and we had them all out 545 00:29:15,867 --> 00:29:19,067 Speaker 3: in twenty five overs and he was just at his 546 00:29:19,427 --> 00:29:21,747 Speaker 3: supreme that day. Just I think about five or six 547 00:29:21,787 --> 00:29:23,987 Speaker 3: of them were caught in the slips in the gully 548 00:29:25,107 --> 00:29:28,067 Speaker 3: And it was an awesome afternoon that McCullen came out 549 00:29:28,107 --> 00:29:30,707 Speaker 3: and smack seventy nine off the city or so and 550 00:29:31,827 --> 00:29:34,787 Speaker 3: the party carried on down into the dockside there and everything, 551 00:29:34,827 --> 00:29:37,387 Speaker 3: and it was just I think that Saturday. They then 552 00:29:37,387 --> 00:29:39,347 Speaker 3: went on to play Aussie and Williams and hit the six. 553 00:29:39,427 --> 00:29:41,307 Speaker 3: So it was just, you know, that was such a 554 00:29:41,307 --> 00:29:45,107 Speaker 3: good time to be a cricket supporter, and Saudi was 555 00:29:45,147 --> 00:29:46,147 Speaker 3: instrumental throughout. 556 00:29:46,987 --> 00:29:49,507 Speaker 2: Yeah, I look, I could not agree more with any 557 00:29:49,507 --> 00:29:51,867 Speaker 2: of that that year, that day at the stadium twenty fifteen. 558 00:29:52,227 --> 00:29:54,627 Speaker 2: I think we've spoken about it before, but yeah, because 559 00:29:54,907 --> 00:29:56,987 Speaker 2: England were out so quick that New Zealand came out 560 00:29:56,987 --> 00:30:01,227 Speaker 2: to bat before the scheduled innings break and then they 561 00:30:01,227 --> 00:30:04,107 Speaker 2: only and Bears went mental and they only needed about 562 00:30:04,147 --> 00:30:06,987 Speaker 2: ten and then they had the they had the dinner 563 00:30:06,987 --> 00:30:08,507 Speaker 2: break because I think they had all those food they 564 00:30:08,547 --> 00:30:09,187 Speaker 2: had to get rid of. 565 00:30:10,067 --> 00:30:12,827 Speaker 3: They did, they did, and I think he well, I 566 00:30:12,827 --> 00:30:15,267 Speaker 3: think it just that was just the way in which 567 00:30:15,267 --> 00:30:17,427 Speaker 3: they were playing those matches and winning them was just 568 00:30:18,187 --> 00:30:20,907 Speaker 3: was just an awesome, you know, time to be hard 569 00:30:20,947 --> 00:30:23,187 Speaker 3: of from a spectator. But he, I think bj Woling 570 00:30:23,227 --> 00:30:25,267 Speaker 3: even said it to yesterday. He had a bit of 571 00:30:25,267 --> 00:30:28,587 Speaker 3: a wobble in twenty nineteen, sad and he reinvented himself somewhat. 572 00:30:28,707 --> 00:30:31,107 Speaker 3: I think, as you said, he dropped about a five 573 00:30:31,227 --> 00:30:33,747 Speaker 3: chaos on his pace, but he was coming wide at 574 00:30:33,747 --> 00:30:36,147 Speaker 3: the wicked and he was he's really crafty. You know, 575 00:30:36,227 --> 00:30:38,027 Speaker 3: he was swinging it out, swinging it out and then 576 00:30:38,227 --> 00:30:40,507 Speaker 3: coming dipping one back in for LB and things. So 577 00:30:41,147 --> 00:30:44,667 Speaker 3: you know, he's he's a really cunning bowler, smart bowler, 578 00:30:44,667 --> 00:30:47,627 Speaker 3: and he's you know, he's been a fantastic servant for 579 00:30:47,667 --> 00:30:51,867 Speaker 3: the game, and he's spearheaded this attack really really well. 580 00:30:51,947 --> 00:30:55,427 Speaker 3: So you know, couldn't couldn't wish him a better, better retirement, 581 00:30:55,467 --> 00:30:57,307 Speaker 3: And as you say, it's a shame he's not sort 582 00:30:57,347 --> 00:30:59,547 Speaker 3: of the bowler he was at the moment, But that 583 00:30:59,587 --> 00:31:01,827 Speaker 3: should not take away from from what he's given to 584 00:31:01,947 --> 00:31:02,787 Speaker 3: New Zealand cricket. 585 00:31:03,227 --> 00:31:04,947 Speaker 2: Yeah, here here what about well Young? 586 00:31:04,987 --> 00:31:05,107 Speaker 9: Hey? 587 00:31:05,107 --> 00:31:07,427 Speaker 2: You giving him on the TA Yeah, it's an interesting 588 00:31:07,467 --> 00:31:07,707 Speaker 2: one day. 589 00:31:07,747 --> 00:31:10,587 Speaker 3: I think what well Young needs to do is just 590 00:31:10,627 --> 00:31:13,707 Speaker 3: to get century monkey off his back and really make 591 00:31:13,787 --> 00:31:17,347 Speaker 3: himself resistle. You know, he's find as you've said, he 592 00:31:17,627 --> 00:31:21,667 Speaker 3: finds himself in that replacement player mode where he just 593 00:31:21,707 --> 00:31:24,667 Speaker 3: covers an injury and slide back in. But I think 594 00:31:24,707 --> 00:31:26,667 Speaker 3: there does have to be a place for him. I think, 595 00:31:27,067 --> 00:31:29,107 Speaker 3: you know, the two players for me that are probably 596 00:31:29,187 --> 00:31:33,027 Speaker 3: under pressure are Conway and Mitchell and and you know, 597 00:31:33,507 --> 00:31:36,067 Speaker 3: I think Will Young is more naturally a middle order 598 00:31:36,107 --> 00:31:39,627 Speaker 3: player and Darren Wtchill's been great, but but I think 599 00:31:39,667 --> 00:31:43,107 Speaker 3: of late you know, but combining him with Revender and 600 00:31:43,947 --> 00:31:45,747 Speaker 3: the way in which they've got out after they've got 601 00:31:45,787 --> 00:31:47,907 Speaker 3: good starts makes me think, you know, there's a bit 602 00:31:47,947 --> 00:31:51,147 Speaker 3: of there's a bit of pressure on there around those 603 00:31:51,187 --> 00:31:53,467 Speaker 3: two players to give Will younger go in in his 604 00:31:53,587 --> 00:31:56,827 Speaker 3: more suited area and see what he's made of and 605 00:31:57,067 --> 00:31:59,587 Speaker 3: if and if he can pull a sentry out, he 606 00:31:59,627 --> 00:32:03,347 Speaker 3: can just make himself completely irresistible to to. 607 00:32:03,787 --> 00:32:07,747 Speaker 2: Not pick Yeah, and cricket more than any sport does that. 608 00:32:08,507 --> 00:32:11,027 Speaker 2: If you get the runs, you're right. It's a it's 609 00:32:11,067 --> 00:32:13,627 Speaker 2: a very very difficult proposition to leave someone out who's 610 00:32:13,667 --> 00:32:16,947 Speaker 2: consistently scoring runs. I mean, you watch a game of 611 00:32:17,027 --> 00:32:19,427 Speaker 2: rugby and you think he's playing well. But cricket, you 612 00:32:19,467 --> 00:32:21,587 Speaker 2: know you've got the scores there to back up your 613 00:32:21,867 --> 00:32:24,227 Speaker 2: your gut feel about whether somebody is playing well or not. 614 00:32:24,387 --> 00:32:26,227 Speaker 2: And you're right. If William gets runs and he gets 615 00:32:26,267 --> 00:32:29,267 Speaker 2: that Century Monkey office back, as you say, then he 616 00:32:29,307 --> 00:32:33,387 Speaker 2: will make himself irresistible to the select this. Hey, better move, 617 00:32:33,427 --> 00:32:38,507 Speaker 2: George none, you too, George, Yeah, good on your mate, 618 00:32:38,507 --> 00:32:40,267 Speaker 2: which had again soon no doubt. Thanks for calling through. 619 00:32:40,267 --> 00:32:42,187 Speaker 2: I got a couple of get through just before that, though. 620 00:32:42,227 --> 00:32:44,747 Speaker 2: Let's get you to sid In Park and Hamilton. Courtesy 621 00:32:45,147 --> 00:32:48,827 Speaker 2: of the Alternative Commentary Collective. Henry Agam bowls two are. 622 00:32:48,867 --> 00:32:58,787 Speaker 1: The leading edge from Crawley and a great catch. 623 00:32:58,827 --> 00:33:03,627 Speaker 2: He's confused, he doesn't want to leave in fact, and 624 00:33:03,667 --> 00:33:07,147 Speaker 2: he feels like, I think Henry didn't catch that bounced, 625 00:33:07,547 --> 00:33:09,507 Speaker 2: so they're gonna check it, and they have checked it 626 00:33:09,627 --> 00:33:12,987 Speaker 2: and it didn't bounce before Matt Henry caught it. So 627 00:33:13,187 --> 00:33:15,427 Speaker 2: Zach Crawley caught and bowl Matt Henry for twenty one 628 00:33:15,507 --> 00:33:19,107 Speaker 2: or fourteen balls. It's typically England's English batting, isn't it? 629 00:33:19,867 --> 00:33:23,347 Speaker 2: So the first Wicke at falling at thirty two, so 630 00:33:23,427 --> 00:33:26,627 Speaker 2: thirty two for one and no sooner had that happened 631 00:33:26,747 --> 00:33:32,267 Speaker 2: than this happened Henry two Ducket's. 632 00:33:31,667 --> 00:33:34,667 Speaker 10: Twenty he's out his way. 633 00:33:36,267 --> 00:33:40,107 Speaker 2: So cracking delivery. He didn't even bother to review that one. 634 00:33:40,707 --> 00:33:44,067 Speaker 2: Is it in swinging delivery? And it had am form 635 00:33:44,307 --> 00:33:49,027 Speaker 2: in front of middle star. The height was good and 636 00:33:49,187 --> 00:33:53,667 Speaker 2: Henry just bowling magnificently. Again, let's had a lot, Yeah, 637 00:33:53,707 --> 00:33:56,987 Speaker 2: wonderful stuff. So that's been Duckett's at LBW to Matt 638 00:33:56,987 --> 00:34:00,347 Speaker 2: Henry for eleven. So from thirty two without loss, England 639 00:34:00,347 --> 00:34:04,507 Speaker 2: in our thirty three for two Matt Henry two for sixteen. 640 00:34:04,627 --> 00:34:09,187 Speaker 2: He continues to lead our bowlers with great skill, accuracy 641 00:34:09,307 --> 00:34:11,787 Speaker 2: and success. Lachland, thanks for holding mate. How are you 642 00:34:12,947 --> 00:34:16,147 Speaker 2: good mate? You Lachlan? I'm great? Thanks mate? What's on 643 00:34:16,187 --> 00:34:16,827 Speaker 2: your mind? 644 00:34:19,907 --> 00:34:23,547 Speaker 11: Just the fact that Tim Salvey's actually gone has actually 645 00:34:23,627 --> 00:34:27,187 Speaker 11: put the cracks up me because he was actually a 646 00:34:27,227 --> 00:34:28,547 Speaker 11: pretty decent bowler. 647 00:34:29,987 --> 00:34:33,507 Speaker 2: Oh, with that question, more than decent, our second greatest 648 00:34:33,547 --> 00:34:35,587 Speaker 2: wicket taker. So are you a bit worried about who's 649 00:34:35,587 --> 00:34:36,747 Speaker 2: going to come and to replace him? 650 00:34:37,707 --> 00:34:41,147 Speaker 11: Yeah? Actually, well I was thinking that Darryl let you 651 00:34:41,307 --> 00:34:43,587 Speaker 11: would yeah different. 652 00:34:43,627 --> 00:34:46,067 Speaker 2: I mean Daryl Mtch was hardly bold though has he 653 00:34:46,267 --> 00:34:48,587 Speaker 2: in an international cricket So I'm not sure that that 654 00:34:48,667 --> 00:34:51,067 Speaker 2: he's a natural placement. I think you're probably looking more 655 00:34:51,107 --> 00:34:53,427 Speaker 2: at someone like a like a Nathan Smith who's had 656 00:34:53,427 --> 00:34:56,067 Speaker 2: a few opportunities Ben Sears. Maybe. I think there's a 657 00:34:56,067 --> 00:35:00,827 Speaker 2: few candidates there. I don't think the cupboards necessarily. 658 00:35:00,147 --> 00:35:07,307 Speaker 11: Beare you well, yeah, good points on but it's actually 659 00:35:07,747 --> 00:35:14,587 Speaker 11: set a point where came Williamson, Brenda McCallum all that. 660 00:35:16,507 --> 00:35:18,387 Speaker 12: So yeah, all right. 661 00:35:18,347 --> 00:35:20,027 Speaker 2: Well I think I think we can look forward with 662 00:35:20,027 --> 00:35:22,427 Speaker 2: a bit of optimism, Lachlan, I hope we can anyway. 663 00:35:22,467 --> 00:35:24,147 Speaker 2: And look the point you make about we're sort of 664 00:35:24,147 --> 00:35:26,067 Speaker 2: coming to the end, don't we have this of this 665 00:35:26,187 --> 00:35:28,587 Speaker 2: golden era? And you look at the team that won 666 00:35:28,587 --> 00:35:32,507 Speaker 2: the World Test Championship in twenty twenty one, which wasn't 667 00:35:32,587 --> 00:35:35,347 Speaker 2: that long ago, only three years ago. The only guys 668 00:35:35,787 --> 00:35:39,707 Speaker 2: in this team today who played in that game the 669 00:35:39,747 --> 00:35:42,947 Speaker 2: World Test Championship final of Tom Latham came Williamson and 670 00:35:43,027 --> 00:35:47,427 Speaker 2: Tim Southey. You know it's been an almost complete changing 671 00:35:47,467 --> 00:35:49,987 Speaker 2: of the guard, which I guess happens, doesn't it. It 672 00:35:50,067 --> 00:35:52,627 Speaker 2: happens in international cricket. Twelve forty five are going to 673 00:35:52,627 --> 00:35:53,867 Speaker 2: get a breakway going to get you to set in 674 00:35:53,947 --> 00:35:55,827 Speaker 2: park shortly on newstalksb. 675 00:35:55,947 --> 00:35:59,667 Speaker 1: The tough questions off the turf Weekend Sport with Jason 676 00:35:59,747 --> 00:36:04,067 Speaker 1: Hine and GJ. Gunnerholmes, New Zealand's most trusted home builder News. 677 00:36:03,987 --> 00:36:08,347 Speaker 2: Talks twelve ay from one, twelve minutes away from lunch. 678 00:36:08,467 --> 00:36:10,907 Speaker 2: On day two of the Third Test between New Zealand 679 00:36:10,987 --> 00:36:13,467 Speaker 2: and England and Hamilton, let's get you to seven park 680 00:36:13,507 --> 00:36:17,147 Speaker 2: our man there is Andrew Orderson orders New Zealand resumed 681 00:36:17,187 --> 00:36:19,547 Speaker 2: three point fifteen for nine. They got through to three 682 00:36:19,667 --> 00:36:22,187 Speaker 2: forty seven so eked out thirty odd more runs and 683 00:36:22,227 --> 00:36:24,467 Speaker 2: have England thirty three for two. This is their session, 684 00:36:24,507 --> 00:36:26,107 Speaker 2: isn't it? 685 00:36:26,227 --> 00:36:28,427 Speaker 13: Sure is pinning. I think that's now standing displayed by 686 00:36:28,467 --> 00:36:31,267 Speaker 13: New Zealand and you mentioned first with will O Rourke 687 00:36:31,387 --> 00:36:33,907 Speaker 13: and Mitchell san Sant. They're getting to seventy six oh 688 00:36:34,267 --> 00:36:38,947 Speaker 13: five from thirty balls, including his first boundary in Test cricket. 689 00:36:38,947 --> 00:36:39,707 Speaker 3: I think off the one. 690 00:36:39,667 --> 00:36:42,027 Speaker 13: Hundred and eighty third ball he's faced in the games 691 00:36:42,027 --> 00:36:45,427 Speaker 13: at this point. So milestone is Willow will be importantly 692 00:36:45,547 --> 00:36:48,187 Speaker 13: keeping the New Zealand team total ticking over that three 693 00:36:48,347 --> 00:36:52,747 Speaker 13: forty seven and now the deficit threeteen with England thirty 694 00:36:52,747 --> 00:36:56,467 Speaker 13: three to two. Couple of key breakthroughs. Initially Zach Crawley 695 00:36:56,987 --> 00:36:59,347 Speaker 13: looking like the party proves at Tim Saldi bolling from 696 00:36:59,347 --> 00:37:03,867 Speaker 13: his eponymous end with sixteen off the first or Sally's 697 00:37:03,867 --> 00:37:06,747 Speaker 13: first over all boundaries of it, but he's since been 698 00:37:06,747 --> 00:37:09,267 Speaker 13: removed magnificent court and bold and the follow through by 699 00:37:09,307 --> 00:37:12,507 Speaker 13: Henry who has also taken Ben Duck at l WW 700 00:37:12,627 --> 00:37:16,467 Speaker 13: for eleven with Crawler game for twenty one. So yes, 701 00:37:16,627 --> 00:37:20,067 Speaker 13: New Zealand in command of this particular juncture getting to lunch. 702 00:37:20,147 --> 00:37:22,707 Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, Matt Henry with both wickets, as you say, 703 00:37:22,907 --> 00:37:26,867 Speaker 2: he has rise has been quite extraordinary, hasn't it In 704 00:37:26,867 --> 00:37:29,347 Speaker 2: the last two or three years. He is now the 705 00:37:29,467 --> 00:37:32,547 Speaker 2: leading light in our seam attack without a shadow of 706 00:37:32,587 --> 00:37:34,427 Speaker 2: a doubt, and I. 707 00:37:34,347 --> 00:37:38,027 Speaker 13: Think, well, a raucous blossoming. But Henry, certainly they've seen 708 00:37:38,107 --> 00:37:40,707 Speaker 13: your partner here now and you know he said to 709 00:37:41,267 --> 00:37:44,707 Speaker 13: endure a period he had to waste his time beyond 710 00:37:45,107 --> 00:37:48,707 Speaker 13: Saudi and Bowls and Wagner and just had to keep 711 00:37:48,747 --> 00:37:52,707 Speaker 13: plugging away and really tenacious man. Henry showed a lot 712 00:37:52,747 --> 00:37:55,867 Speaker 13: of carriage over time. He's got plenty of pluck and yeah, 713 00:37:55,947 --> 00:37:58,107 Speaker 13: just coming into his own now and leading the way. 714 00:37:58,147 --> 00:38:00,387 Speaker 13: And here's a certain maturity about him in the game 715 00:38:00,387 --> 00:38:02,827 Speaker 13: now that that's pretty admirable to observe. 716 00:38:03,387 --> 00:38:05,147 Speaker 2: I are still in cleave with this a short time 717 00:38:05,147 --> 00:38:06,707 Speaker 2: ago when we had him on the air. Sure with 718 00:38:06,787 --> 00:38:08,987 Speaker 2: you can shedney light. But in ninety seven overs in 719 00:38:09,027 --> 00:38:12,387 Speaker 2: New Zealand's innings they didn't use their spinner. England Bashi 720 00:38:12,467 --> 00:38:15,147 Speaker 2: didn't bowl at all. Was that just because there was 721 00:38:15,187 --> 00:38:17,467 Speaker 2: always just something there for the seamers. 722 00:38:18,427 --> 00:38:20,707 Speaker 13: I think that's how Stokes would have read it. I 723 00:38:20,747 --> 00:38:23,107 Speaker 13: am surprised you didn't get used in some capacity just 724 00:38:23,107 --> 00:38:24,987 Speaker 13: to bring them into the game as much as anything, 725 00:38:25,787 --> 00:38:29,267 Speaker 13: and to just test it out because they're quite creative England. 726 00:38:29,587 --> 00:38:31,987 Speaker 13: You know, we've seen that in the time that there's 727 00:38:32,027 --> 00:38:35,747 Speaker 13: all been a policy, if you like, But I guess 728 00:38:35,947 --> 00:38:38,467 Speaker 13: using them thinking more for that that third innings though, 729 00:38:38,627 --> 00:38:42,067 Speaker 13: when it comes into play this year and because another 730 00:38:42,067 --> 00:38:44,827 Speaker 13: thing they're not using the He's actually had some success 731 00:38:44,867 --> 00:38:47,387 Speaker 13: against the Zealand so far in the series, so that 732 00:38:47,747 --> 00:38:49,827 Speaker 13: makes it more puzzling and confusing. 733 00:38:49,867 --> 00:38:52,387 Speaker 2: Finning indeed, indeed, well let's see what happens in the 734 00:38:52,427 --> 00:38:54,547 Speaker 2: second innings and whether Mitchell Santney gets a few overs 735 00:38:54,587 --> 00:38:57,147 Speaker 2: for New Zealand in England's first I thinks just before 736 00:38:57,147 --> 00:38:59,267 Speaker 2: you go a text through here, and it sort of 737 00:38:59,307 --> 00:39:03,347 Speaker 2: relates to our chats about the catering at the various 738 00:39:03,347 --> 00:39:08,307 Speaker 2: cricket grounds. Mike context of always wondered what international cricket 739 00:39:08,387 --> 00:39:11,747 Speaker 2: teams eat for lunch? Do they get an upgrade from 740 00:39:11,747 --> 00:39:14,027 Speaker 2: what the media get? Have you got the insight as 741 00:39:14,027 --> 00:39:15,667 Speaker 2: to what the teams get for lunch? 742 00:39:16,587 --> 00:39:20,747 Speaker 13: That's my understanding, certainly at Lord's or maybe the likes 743 00:39:20,747 --> 00:39:23,747 Speaker 13: of the edge of those fine culinary establishments of the 744 00:39:23,747 --> 00:39:27,627 Speaker 13: world Michelin star type fear as I understand it, Piney, 745 00:39:28,307 --> 00:39:31,227 Speaker 13: But yeah, the media is step down. But that's that's understandable. 746 00:39:32,947 --> 00:39:36,987 Speaker 13: We don't have we don't have quite the nutritional requirements. 747 00:39:38,307 --> 00:39:39,867 Speaker 2: I wondered with a plat with hot dog. 748 00:39:39,787 --> 00:39:40,867 Speaker 7: Territory, but you know, there you go. 749 00:39:41,347 --> 00:39:44,067 Speaker 2: No, I guess if you're if you're batting, and if 750 00:39:44,067 --> 00:39:46,667 Speaker 2: you're batting and you you don't want to fill your 751 00:39:46,987 --> 00:39:50,667 Speaker 2: fill your stomach up, do you at lunch time? You know? 752 00:39:50,747 --> 00:39:52,827 Speaker 2: And so in those some of those places you mentioned, 753 00:39:52,827 --> 00:39:54,467 Speaker 2: it's almost a little bit of a shame, isn't it. 754 00:39:54,467 --> 00:39:57,587 Speaker 2: You don't get the chance to enjoy everything that's on 755 00:39:57,627 --> 00:39:58,947 Speaker 2: off or if you're out there in the middle and 756 00:39:59,347 --> 00:40:01,147 Speaker 2: you've got to sort of you know, just maybe pick 757 00:40:01,147 --> 00:40:02,587 Speaker 2: it a bit of salad over lunch. 758 00:40:03,347 --> 00:40:03,867 Speaker 14: Well, that's right. 759 00:40:03,907 --> 00:40:06,507 Speaker 13: I think probably with the pliers it's more big. The 760 00:40:06,587 --> 00:40:09,067 Speaker 13: quality in media gets the quantity, and certainly I'm not 761 00:40:09,107 --> 00:40:11,107 Speaker 13: complaining you could pile onto it from the. 762 00:40:11,587 --> 00:40:12,387 Speaker 7: In soul your plate. 763 00:40:12,467 --> 00:40:13,267 Speaker 3: Fin it's all good. 764 00:40:14,067 --> 00:40:15,987 Speaker 2: Good on your orders.

If you are just tuning 819 00:43:05,907 --> 00:43:08,147 Speaker 2: in and you want an update, fifty four for two 820 00:43:08,187 --> 00:43:11,027 Speaker 2: England fifty four for two that after New Zealand got 821 00:43:11,027 --> 00:43:13,867 Speaker 2: through to three hundred and forty seven all out this morning, 822 00:43:13,867 --> 00:43:16,307 Speaker 2: they were three point fifteen for nine when they resumed 823 00:43:16,307 --> 00:43:19,947 Speaker 2: at eleven o'clock, Mitchell, Satner and will O'Rourke doing a 824 00:43:19,947 --> 00:43:22,307 Speaker 2: pretty good job of eking out the last few runs. 825 00:43:22,307 --> 00:43:25,507 Speaker 2: They put on forty four for the tenth wicket before 826 00:43:25,547 --> 00:43:27,547 Speaker 2: Mitchell Santon was the last man out for seventy six. 827 00:43:27,947 --> 00:43:31,587 Speaker 2: Will O'Rourke five not out, including his first Test boundary, 828 00:43:32,787 --> 00:43:37,987 Speaker 2: so three forty seven England have started chipping away at that. 829 00:43:38,347 --> 00:43:40,667 Speaker 2: Fifty four for two. Crawley and Duck at the men out, 830 00:43:40,707 --> 00:43:42,467 Speaker 2: the two openers both out of the bowling.

James Mcony 833 00:43:50,787 --> 00:43:52,987 Speaker 2: this hour and a little bit of surf life saving 834 00:43:53,107 --> 00:43:56,987 Speaker 2: for you as well. But we start with intriguing and 835 00:43:57,947 --> 00:44:01,667 Speaker 2: slightly troubling news this week two thousand and three England 836 00:44:01,907 --> 00:44:05,387 Speaker 2: rugby World Cup winner Ben Cohen revealed this week he 837 00:44:05,547 --> 00:44:10,667 Speaker 2: sold his World Cup winner's medal in order to survive 838 00:44:10,907 --> 00:44:14,867 Speaker 2: financial struggles. During COVID nineteen, ben Cohen played fifty seven 839 00:44:14,947 --> 00:44:18,307 Speaker 2: tests for England, started in the two thousand and three 840 00:44:18,427 --> 00:44:21,987 Speaker 2: final victory over Australia in Sydney. Also played a couple 841 00:44:21,987 --> 00:44:24,387 Speaker 2: of matches for the British and Irish Lions. In two 842 00:44:24,467 --> 00:44:28,187 Speaker 2: thousand and one, in a newspaper interview, ben Cohen talked 843 00:44:28,187 --> 00:44:32,267 Speaker 2: about his post career struggles, including selling his winner's medal 844 00:44:32,787 --> 00:44:35,907 Speaker 2: in order to help relieve financial pressure on he and 845 00:44:35,987 --> 00:44:39,307 Speaker 2: his family. Now it again opened up the ongoing discussion 846 00:44:39,547 --> 00:44:43,107 Speaker 2: of the challenges of transitioning from life as a professional 847 00:44:43,107 --> 00:44:48,227 Speaker 2: sportsperson to life beyond that stage of life. Tim Bateman 848 00:44:48,307 --> 00:44:51,467 Speaker 2: played professional rugby for NELLI two decades with the Crusaders 849 00:44:51,507 --> 00:44:54,507 Speaker 2: and the Hurricanes. The multi All blacksby Captain. He also 850 00:44:54,547 --> 00:44:57,467 Speaker 2: had time in Japan and has been a prominent voice 851 00:44:57,667 --> 00:45:01,587 Speaker 2: in the space in both physical and mental wellness, and 852 00:45:01,667 --> 00:45:03,427 Speaker 2: he joins us now, Tim thanks for taking the time 853 00:45:03,467 --> 00:45:05,627 Speaker 2: to discuss this topic. It's an important one. I think. 854 00:45:06,347 --> 00:45:11,227 Speaker 2: I think that stories like ben Cohen's perhaps a little 855 00:45:11,227 --> 00:45:12,907 Speaker 2: bit more common than we think. 856 00:45:14,467 --> 00:45:16,787 Speaker 15: Well, they really are, aren't they, Which is just such 857 00:45:16,787 --> 00:45:20,187 Speaker 15: a shame. You know, it's an unbelievably sad story. But 858 00:45:20,227 --> 00:45:22,667 Speaker 15: it's not abnormal, is it. You know, we've all heard 859 00:45:22,707 --> 00:45:24,707 Speaker 15: stories like this and it's not a new thing either, 860 00:45:24,907 --> 00:45:27,307 Speaker 15: something that's been around a long time, and it crosses 861 00:45:27,387 --> 00:45:30,187 Speaker 15: codes and in necially crosses all industries. You know, support 862 00:45:30,307 --> 00:45:33,547 Speaker 15: is obviously highlighted a lot more. But it's just really so. 863 00:45:33,667 --> 00:45:36,467 Speaker 15: I mean, that whole financial management s side of things, 864 00:45:37,227 --> 00:45:40,427 Speaker 15: it's done right. Ideally you wouldn't be in a situation 865 00:45:40,507 --> 00:45:43,067 Speaker 15: like he's just been in. So it's yeah, it's really unfortunate. 866 00:45:43,107 --> 00:45:46,107 Speaker 15: But we hear much too much of it, don't we. 867 00:45:46,347 --> 00:45:48,347 Speaker 2: Yeah, we do. We do want to draw down to 868 00:45:48,427 --> 00:45:50,427 Speaker 2: that financial side of things and others in a moment, 869 00:45:50,467 --> 00:45:54,467 Speaker 2: but in very broad terms to how challenging is the 870 00:45:54,507 --> 00:45:57,507 Speaker 2: move from professional sport to life after that. 871 00:45:58,627 --> 00:46:01,427 Speaker 15: Yes, I mean it is a challenge. I mean, once 872 00:46:01,467 --> 00:46:02,947 Speaker 15: you know, I know, this is not the only challenge. 873 00:46:02,987 --> 00:46:05,307 Speaker 15: It's not a unique challenge. Everyone has challenges in life. 874 00:46:05,347 --> 00:46:08,467 Speaker 15: But it really is a difficult transition. It's really hard 875 00:46:08,467 --> 00:46:11,867 Speaker 15: to sort of explain all the different facets that that 876 00:46:11,947 --> 00:46:14,867 Speaker 15: you sort of have to consider. So just to check 877 00:46:14,907 --> 00:46:18,067 Speaker 15: a couple out there. So physical, it's like you significant 878 00:46:18,147 --> 00:46:21,507 Speaker 15: changes physically. I mean, you know, I played professionally for 879 00:46:21,507 --> 00:46:24,707 Speaker 15: seventeen years and my work was training, so literally I 880 00:46:24,747 --> 00:46:27,427 Speaker 15: turned up. I had people guiding me through being as 881 00:46:27,427 --> 00:46:31,027 Speaker 15: healthy as I possibly could be physically strong, fast, and 882 00:46:31,107 --> 00:46:33,147 Speaker 15: the flow and effects of that that move into sort 883 00:46:33,147 --> 00:46:34,987 Speaker 15: of that mental space as well. But you've also got 884 00:46:34,987 --> 00:46:36,947 Speaker 15: a lot of mental support around you with mental skills, 885 00:46:36,987 --> 00:46:42,027 Speaker 15: coaches and stuff, you know, mentors and whatnot that are 886 00:46:42,067 --> 00:46:43,867 Speaker 15: really shaping that. And all of a sudden, it's like 887 00:46:43,907 --> 00:46:46,307 Speaker 15: a stop mark that happens on those two things immediately, 888 00:46:46,627 --> 00:46:48,147 Speaker 15: you know, And all of a sudden, you've got to 889 00:46:48,147 --> 00:46:50,587 Speaker 15: figure that out, you know, and you can do nothing, 890 00:46:50,827 --> 00:46:52,667 Speaker 15: you know, and there'll be consequences for that. 891 00:46:53,067 --> 00:46:55,547 Speaker 5: You don't have to continue obviously, train my professional. 892 00:46:55,187 --> 00:46:56,587 Speaker 15: Athlete But one thing I always sort of try and 893 00:46:56,627 --> 00:46:58,347 Speaker 15: courage people to do is find a way that you 894 00:46:58,387 --> 00:47:01,747 Speaker 15: can stay active physically, because you can underestimate what that's 895 00:47:01,787 --> 00:47:05,067 Speaker 15: doing to you both physically and mentally. But there's a 896 00:47:05,147 --> 00:47:07,107 Speaker 15: number of other sort of factors so that we can 897 00:47:07,187 --> 00:47:07,707 Speaker 15: discuss that. 898 00:47:08,667 --> 00:47:10,787 Speaker 5: Yeah, those two are real obvious ones. 899 00:47:10,827 --> 00:47:13,107 Speaker 15: You leave an environment where you really looked after physically 900 00:47:13,187 --> 00:47:15,787 Speaker 15: and mentally, and all of a sudden, yeah, you're sort 901 00:47:15,787 --> 00:47:17,627 Speaker 15: of out on your own. Things are a little bit different. 902 00:47:17,867 --> 00:47:20,667 Speaker 2: Yeah, and there are two of six pillars you talked 903 00:47:20,707 --> 00:47:23,107 Speaker 2: about on a terrific podcast I listened to a little 904 00:47:23,147 --> 00:47:26,427 Speaker 2: while ago with James Marshall about the six important pillars 905 00:47:26,427 --> 00:47:30,227 Speaker 2: for transition success. You've mentioned physical self and mental health, 906 00:47:30,267 --> 00:47:34,707 Speaker 2: social well being, financial structure, and passion or purpose with 907 00:47:34,787 --> 00:47:36,667 Speaker 2: the others. Are there any of those two that are 908 00:47:36,707 --> 00:47:40,987 Speaker 2: more common among retiring athletes than perhaps some of the others. 909 00:47:41,587 --> 00:47:45,587 Speaker 15: Well, Yeah, it's cool that the needless sort of the 910 00:47:46,107 --> 00:47:48,747 Speaker 15: framework through which I can sort of see things takes 911 00:47:48,747 --> 00:47:51,147 Speaker 15: social for example. You know, like the reality is in 912 00:47:51,187 --> 00:47:53,827 Speaker 15: a RUGDI or any sort of higher fluence bort environment 913 00:47:53,987 --> 00:47:56,587 Speaker 15: with a group of like minded people and you're having 914 00:47:56,627 --> 00:47:58,187 Speaker 15: a lot of fun together every day. You know, you 915 00:47:58,307 --> 00:48:00,467 Speaker 15: see's all the various stuff that's going on, but also 916 00:48:00,747 --> 00:48:02,787 Speaker 15: you've got this real sort of social connection. I hope 917 00:48:02,787 --> 00:48:04,907 Speaker 15: could travel up to Japan and all of a sudden, 918 00:48:04,907 --> 00:48:07,147 Speaker 15: I've got forty like mine people. 919 00:48:06,907 --> 00:48:08,547 Speaker 5: That I'm working together with every day. 920 00:48:08,827 --> 00:48:10,787 Speaker 15: Once again, you transition out of that, and it's not 921 00:48:10,827 --> 00:48:13,067 Speaker 15: as if that's there's no one that you can hang 922 00:48:13,067 --> 00:48:15,307 Speaker 15: out with socially, but it's just a different dynamic and 923 00:48:15,347 --> 00:48:17,587 Speaker 15: so you have to make adjustments to that. So once again, 924 00:48:17,587 --> 00:48:20,467 Speaker 15: what I always recommend players, you keep a really good 925 00:48:20,507 --> 00:48:24,507 Speaker 15: social network out of the game, out of whatever you're doing. 926 00:48:24,547 --> 00:48:27,347 Speaker 15: So when that leaves, you're sort of not left time dry, 927 00:48:27,387 --> 00:48:30,347 Speaker 15: because it is It's funny that, you know, the year 928 00:48:30,387 --> 00:48:32,227 Speaker 15: after Addis the Crusaders, it just feels a little bit 929 00:48:32,267 --> 00:48:35,027 Speaker 15: different message rich among it, even though we're close friends, 930 00:48:35,027 --> 00:48:36,867 Speaker 15: and it just does it feels like, you know, you're 931 00:48:36,907 --> 00:48:39,507 Speaker 15: that sort of guy clinging on from the outskirts, and 932 00:48:39,587 --> 00:48:42,467 Speaker 15: so even though you've built these really strong connections, it's 933 00:48:42,507 --> 00:48:45,507 Speaker 15: just a little bit different. But in financial obviously it's 934 00:48:45,667 --> 00:48:47,907 Speaker 15: that we're touching on here and there's a big there's 935 00:48:47,907 --> 00:48:51,747 Speaker 15: a big transition around finances and I'm firmly of the 936 00:48:51,827 --> 00:48:54,587 Speaker 15: view that you know, it shouldn't be a ceiling. You know, 937 00:48:55,427 --> 00:48:57,147 Speaker 15: the money that you can make as a row players 938 00:48:57,147 --> 00:48:59,427 Speaker 15: shouldn't be the only time that you can make that 939 00:48:59,427 --> 00:49:00,987 Speaker 15: sort of money. If you if you set things up 940 00:49:01,027 --> 00:49:03,467 Speaker 15: well and you do things honestly, you should be able 941 00:49:03,467 --> 00:49:06,547 Speaker 15: to sort of, you know, chase another nuntin. But is 942 00:49:06,587 --> 00:49:08,387 Speaker 15: last two that you sort of touched on just now, 943 00:49:08,387 --> 00:49:11,227 Speaker 15: that sort of passion and purpose and structure that is 944 00:49:12,107 --> 00:49:14,267 Speaker 15: that that's that's a really important one that she was 945 00:49:14,267 --> 00:49:17,587 Speaker 15: down at Otaio Correction Facility speaking with some of the 946 00:49:17,587 --> 00:49:21,667 Speaker 15: inmates that are transitioning out, and this is the two 947 00:49:21,867 --> 00:49:23,427 Speaker 15: or the structure one for them is a. 948 00:49:23,387 --> 00:49:23,987 Speaker 5: Real big one. 949 00:49:24,067 --> 00:49:26,907 Speaker 15: So like as a rugby player, I could tell you 950 00:49:26,907 --> 00:49:28,547 Speaker 15: what I was going to be doing in three years time, 951 00:49:28,627 --> 00:49:29,867 Speaker 15: what I was going to be eating, where I was 952 00:49:29,907 --> 00:49:31,507 Speaker 15: going to be, who was going to be worth the things? 953 00:49:31,627 --> 00:49:33,867 Speaker 15: And that provides quite an element of certainty in your 954 00:49:33,867 --> 00:49:37,387 Speaker 15: life that your weeks and your years and your months 955 00:49:37,387 --> 00:49:40,187 Speaker 15: are very very structured. Once again, when you leave, you've 956 00:49:40,187 --> 00:49:42,467 Speaker 15: got to build your own structure into your life. Well, 957 00:49:42,467 --> 00:49:44,027 Speaker 15: when do you find time for your family, When do 958 00:49:44,027 --> 00:49:45,867 Speaker 15: you find time to look after yourself pysically, when do 959 00:49:45,907 --> 00:49:48,147 Speaker 15: you find times that be social? When do you how 960 00:49:48,147 --> 00:49:51,867 Speaker 15: do you manage all these things? And so it's optimized 961 00:49:51,907 --> 00:49:54,467 Speaker 15: with a high forence environment, but you've got to figure 962 00:49:54,507 --> 00:49:56,827 Speaker 15: all that stuff out for yourself. So once again, it's 963 00:49:56,867 --> 00:50:01,027 Speaker 15: just it's a transition that that passion and purpose piece 964 00:50:01,827 --> 00:50:04,467 Speaker 15: very similar to the social you're in an environment where 965 00:50:04,507 --> 00:50:08,667 Speaker 15: people are really towards something and you're on the shared 966 00:50:08,747 --> 00:50:10,667 Speaker 15: mission to ear every week, where you're sort of almost 967 00:50:10,707 --> 00:50:14,027 Speaker 15: like you go into war, you know, And it just 968 00:50:14,347 --> 00:50:16,987 Speaker 15: fosters a real sense of enjoyment and passion for what 969 00:50:17,027 --> 00:50:20,267 Speaker 15: you're doing. When you leave that, it's not about you 970 00:50:20,307 --> 00:50:21,827 Speaker 15: don't have to replace it to the same a group, 971 00:50:21,827 --> 00:50:23,867 Speaker 15: but you've got to find something else that you can 972 00:50:24,027 --> 00:50:26,347 Speaker 15: sort of be passionate about or can taste. Because I 973 00:50:26,387 --> 00:50:29,107 Speaker 15: really think there's a lot of benefits that come towards 974 00:50:29,187 --> 00:50:31,507 Speaker 15: working to working on something or towards something that you 975 00:50:31,587 --> 00:50:32,307 Speaker 15: really care about. 976 00:50:33,387 --> 00:50:35,507 Speaker 2: So interesting, and I look at those six things, and 977 00:50:35,547 --> 00:50:37,747 Speaker 2: as you've outlined, they're all so important. I guess though, 978 00:50:37,747 --> 00:50:40,427 Speaker 2: you could get by without you having your mates around all, 979 00:50:40,467 --> 00:50:42,987 Speaker 2: without having a particular purpose, but you need to earn, 980 00:50:43,027 --> 00:50:45,267 Speaker 2: don't you, well, most people do. There's very few who 981 00:50:45,947 --> 00:50:49,147 Speaker 2: retire from professional sport with enough to not ever have 982 00:50:49,267 --> 00:50:53,747 Speaker 2: to work again. What can be better done to help athletes, 983 00:50:54,027 --> 00:50:57,027 Speaker 2: you know, I guess, not have to face those financial challenges, 984 00:50:57,267 --> 00:51:00,107 Speaker 2: but also to help alleviate them. 985 00:51:00,587 --> 00:51:03,187 Speaker 15: Well, I mean, I'm probably a little bit different to 986 00:51:03,267 --> 00:51:05,947 Speaker 15: how some people would view this, but I'm a massive 987 00:51:05,987 --> 00:51:09,627 Speaker 15: fan of sort of personal accountability, personal responsibility. And the 988 00:51:09,667 --> 00:51:12,427 Speaker 15: reality is is there is a lot of support out 989 00:51:12,427 --> 00:51:16,067 Speaker 15: there and and some players and athletes will choose to 990 00:51:16,107 --> 00:51:18,787 Speaker 15: engage with it more than others, and you know, and 991 00:51:18,827 --> 00:51:21,387 Speaker 15: that's and that's once again, it's not it's not to 992 00:51:21,467 --> 00:51:23,867 Speaker 15: throw any under under the bus, and that life is 993 00:51:23,947 --> 00:51:26,467 Speaker 15: challenging for everyone. But at the same time, like your 994 00:51:26,547 --> 00:51:28,467 Speaker 15: life is discerned by what you choose to put in 995 00:51:28,507 --> 00:51:30,187 Speaker 15: and where you choose to put your focus. And so 996 00:51:30,627 --> 00:51:34,027 Speaker 15: if you've had zero time thinking about or planning for 997 00:51:34,467 --> 00:51:37,187 Speaker 15: a change socially or financially or physically. 998 00:51:37,267 --> 00:51:39,547 Speaker 14: Whatever it is that's going on, i mean, the reality 999 00:51:39,587 --> 00:51:40,027 Speaker 14: is it's going. 1000 00:51:39,947 --> 00:51:42,867 Speaker 5: To be harder. That's that's just the way it fools out. 1001 00:51:42,947 --> 00:51:45,507 Speaker 15: And i mean, I'm sure there's lots of things that 1002 00:51:45,507 --> 00:51:48,707 Speaker 15: that all organizations can do to better support their people. 1003 00:51:49,507 --> 00:51:51,827 Speaker 15: So it's not if it's not a complete blanket, but 1004 00:51:51,907 --> 00:51:53,947 Speaker 15: in my experience it's really good. 1005 00:51:53,987 --> 00:51:56,467 Speaker 5: An individual driven and the. 1006 00:51:56,467 --> 00:51:59,827 Speaker 15: Support that you get from the organization that should almost 1007 00:51:59,907 --> 00:52:02,547 Speaker 15: be a bonus. I probably think about when I first 1008 00:52:02,587 --> 00:52:05,587 Speaker 15: came into into a high performance to what it was 1009 00:52:05,627 --> 00:52:08,427 Speaker 15: like when I left and we had professional development, managed 1010 00:52:08,427 --> 00:52:10,627 Speaker 15: to be mental skills coaches. We had you know, we 1011 00:52:10,627 --> 00:52:12,227 Speaker 15: would be put on to the right people if we 1012 00:52:12,307 --> 00:52:15,027 Speaker 15: wanted doors open. There was a whole network that you 1013 00:52:15,067 --> 00:52:19,227 Speaker 15: could access. But the reality is it doesn't feel important 1014 00:52:19,267 --> 00:52:21,187 Speaker 15: at the time. You're really just thinking about the game 1015 00:52:21,227 --> 00:52:23,587 Speaker 15: and the weekend, and you've got ten guys behind you're 1016 00:52:23,587 --> 00:52:25,387 Speaker 15: wanting to take your spot, so it doesn't become a 1017 00:52:25,427 --> 00:52:28,587 Speaker 15: real just as never seen as a real priority until all. 1018 00:52:28,467 --> 00:52:32,427 Speaker 2: Of a sudden it is, yeah, I've got written down here. 1019 00:52:33,227 --> 00:52:35,627 Speaker 2: I wonder if players who are early in their careers 1020 00:52:35,707 --> 00:52:38,227 Speaker 2: are less open to discussions of the sort because it 1021 00:52:38,347 --> 00:52:40,387 Speaker 2: just seems so far away from them, Jim, doesn't it 1022 00:52:40,387 --> 00:52:42,867 Speaker 2: a twenty one, twenty two year old player who all 1023 00:52:42,907 --> 00:52:45,467 Speaker 2: they're caring about is exactly what you've outlined, playing their best, 1024 00:52:45,547 --> 00:52:47,987 Speaker 2: keeping their spot becoming it all black, whatever it might be. 1025 00:52:48,227 --> 00:52:52,187 Speaker 2: Are players early in their careers less open to discussions 1026 00:52:52,227 --> 00:52:54,227 Speaker 2: about what happens post career? 1027 00:52:55,307 --> 00:52:57,867 Speaker 15: Well, I think it's quite unique, isn't it if you 1028 00:52:57,867 --> 00:53:00,507 Speaker 15: think about every other career. You know, you don't go 1029 00:53:00,627 --> 00:53:04,187 Speaker 15: into your legal career or your teaching career having to 1030 00:53:04,267 --> 00:53:07,347 Speaker 15: plan for your next career. Yeah, you're not thinking, actually 1031 00:53:07,347 --> 00:53:09,507 Speaker 15: I need to think about what's going to happen next. 1032 00:53:10,267 --> 00:53:12,827 Speaker 15: But so I think rugby is unique, or hard sports, 1033 00:53:12,867 --> 00:53:13,627 Speaker 15: water is unique, and. 1034 00:53:13,587 --> 00:53:16,107 Speaker 5: That there is always going to be a finish line. 1035 00:53:16,547 --> 00:53:19,227 Speaker 5: This is, but it never really feels like it. 1036 00:53:19,867 --> 00:53:22,147 Speaker 15: And I think, I mean, I know that the induction 1037 00:53:22,267 --> 00:53:24,227 Speaker 15: they do at the ends that are for all new 1038 00:53:24,227 --> 00:53:26,867 Speaker 15: players is a huge focus on this. The reality is, guys, 1039 00:53:27,267 --> 00:53:31,467 Speaker 15: the average lifespan of professional players in New Zealand, I 1040 00:53:31,467 --> 00:53:33,947 Speaker 15: think it was three years when I was back back 1041 00:53:33,987 --> 00:53:36,467 Speaker 15: when I was playing. It might have grown potendially for 1042 00:53:36,507 --> 00:53:38,627 Speaker 15: four or five years, but really, really, you know, that's 1043 00:53:38,667 --> 00:53:41,787 Speaker 15: the average life. So if you're thinking, well, some guys 1044 00:53:41,787 --> 00:53:43,507 Speaker 15: are going to be here a year, some guys might 1045 00:53:43,587 --> 00:53:45,427 Speaker 15: get to be here fifteen years, you know, some guys 1046 00:53:45,467 --> 00:53:46,907 Speaker 15: are going to be out of here in a couple 1047 00:53:46,947 --> 00:53:51,547 Speaker 15: of months. So it's I think that everyone's aware of it, 1048 00:53:51,667 --> 00:53:55,427 Speaker 15: everyone understands it, but actually being able to practically take 1049 00:53:55,467 --> 00:53:58,027 Speaker 15: steps to manage that transition. 1050 00:53:58,267 --> 00:54:00,587 Speaker 5: It's not. I don't think it's as engaged with it 1051 00:54:00,627 --> 00:54:01,267 Speaker 5: as it can be. 1052 00:54:02,507 --> 00:54:06,027 Speaker 2: You're a parent. Do you think parents might be reticent 1053 00:54:06,427 --> 00:54:11,187 Speaker 2: towards steering their their talented child towards a professional sporting 1054 00:54:11,227 --> 00:54:13,867 Speaker 2: career because of what might happen to them beyond it. 1055 00:54:15,547 --> 00:54:16,067 Speaker 2: I hope not. 1056 00:54:16,867 --> 00:54:17,707 Speaker 5: I really hope not. 1057 00:54:17,827 --> 00:54:21,187 Speaker 15: I mean, I think I think you know, once again, 1058 00:54:21,347 --> 00:54:24,107 Speaker 15: it's it's really what you choose to put in and 1059 00:54:24,107 --> 00:54:26,187 Speaker 15: and and the and the way you engage with anything 1060 00:54:26,227 --> 00:54:29,107 Speaker 15: that matters most, and the opportunities that come and the 1061 00:54:29,147 --> 00:54:32,707 Speaker 15: experiences that you get to have and h sport are 1062 00:54:32,747 --> 00:54:35,907 Speaker 15: absolutely incredible. And say one thing I would sort of 1063 00:54:35,947 --> 00:54:37,667 Speaker 15: love to say is I think some of the skills 1064 00:54:37,667 --> 00:54:41,547 Speaker 15: that you acquire through professional sports, they aren't recognized out 1065 00:54:41,587 --> 00:54:44,227 Speaker 15: of the game, which is a real shame. Like some 1066 00:54:44,267 --> 00:54:47,347 Speaker 15: of the best leaders I know and some of the 1067 00:54:47,387 --> 00:54:51,827 Speaker 15: most driven, some of the guys that are super diligent 1068 00:54:51,947 --> 00:54:54,827 Speaker 15: and planning, the communication skills are through the roof and 1069 00:54:56,147 --> 00:55:00,587 Speaker 15: are really able to inspire and it's super dedicated and discipline, 1070 00:55:00,987 --> 00:55:03,947 Speaker 15: all these skills that in any in any career are 1071 00:55:03,987 --> 00:55:07,467 Speaker 15: really really important. You can't build into a CV, really, 1072 00:55:07,547 --> 00:55:09,867 Speaker 15: you know, there's no there's no qualification that you get 1073 00:55:09,867 --> 00:55:10,507 Speaker 15: when you leave. 1074 00:55:10,387 --> 00:55:11,987 Speaker 5: The game that's recognized out of the game. 1075 00:55:12,547 --> 00:55:15,827 Speaker 15: So I think, I mean, I think professional squad is 1076 00:55:15,827 --> 00:55:18,947 Speaker 15: incredible for the opportunities that you get, for the experiences 1077 00:55:18,947 --> 00:55:20,187 Speaker 15: that you get to have. So if I was a 1078 00:55:20,267 --> 00:55:21,827 Speaker 15: parent with the you know, I am a parent with 1079 00:55:21,827 --> 00:55:23,587 Speaker 15: you with young girls, I would love them to want 1080 00:55:23,627 --> 00:55:27,307 Speaker 15: to choose to delve into into professional squat push themselves 1081 00:55:27,307 --> 00:55:29,787 Speaker 15: into a career because I really do think even if 1082 00:55:29,827 --> 00:55:32,747 Speaker 15: it's not professional, I just think being engaged in sport, 1083 00:55:32,867 --> 00:55:34,907 Speaker 15: being a part of a team, you know, where you've 1084 00:55:34,947 --> 00:55:37,147 Speaker 15: got this sort of mission together. I just think there's 1085 00:55:37,147 --> 00:55:40,787 Speaker 15: so many upsides to that that I hope people wouldn't 1086 00:55:40,827 --> 00:55:42,787 Speaker 15: be so hey, stay from it just in case you're successful, 1087 00:55:42,787 --> 00:55:44,027 Speaker 15: because it's going to be a hard transition. 1088 00:55:44,547 --> 00:55:48,387 Speaker 2: Yeah, fantastic topic. You've given us a terrific food for thought. Tim, 1089 00:55:48,387 --> 00:55:51,707 Speaker 2: Thanks so much for giving us your time, mate, Thanks 1090 00:55:51,747 --> 00:55:53,867 Speaker 2: for having me now, thanks for joining us. Tim Tim Bateman, 1091 00:55:53,907 --> 00:55:57,627 Speaker 2: then former top level rugby player for nearly two decades, 1092 00:55:57,667 --> 00:55:59,827 Speaker 2: with the Crusaders and the Hurricanes playing in Japan. Captain the 1093 00:55:59,907 --> 00:56:04,347 Speaker 2: Mighty All Blacks. Good player, but clearly a very very 1094 00:56:04,867 --> 00:56:09,307 Speaker 2: intelligent blog, particulate eloquent on this topic, which I've always 1095 00:56:09,467 --> 00:56:16,267 Speaker 2: found fascinating, the transition and the challenges of transitioning from 1096 00:56:16,307 --> 00:56:20,227 Speaker 2: being a professional sportsperson to the next part of your life, 1097 00:56:20,307 --> 00:56:24,947 Speaker 2: because we all know that well for most sports anyway, 1098 00:56:24,987 --> 00:56:27,547 Speaker 2: there are probably some exceptions where you can play longer. 1099 00:56:27,587 --> 00:56:32,107 Speaker 2: But let's look at the contact sports like rugby, rugby, 1100 00:56:32,147 --> 00:56:36,347 Speaker 2: league football, netball, hockey. You know, any sport you can 1101 00:56:36,387 --> 00:56:41,227 Speaker 2: play professionally which is a physical sport. By the time 1102 00:56:41,227 --> 00:56:45,427 Speaker 2: you reach your mid thirties, you're coming towards the end 1103 00:56:45,627 --> 00:56:47,347 Speaker 2: and there is a heck of a lot of life 1104 00:56:47,427 --> 00:56:51,307 Speaker 2: left after that for you to negotiate and to navigate. 1105 00:56:52,667 --> 00:56:54,987 Speaker 2: You might have some thoughts on this anything that resonated 1106 00:56:55,027 --> 00:56:57,067 Speaker 2: with you there From Tim Bateman, I'd be keen to 1107 00:56:57,147 --> 00:57:00,027 Speaker 2: kick this around with you. Any personal experiences you've had. 1108 00:57:01,307 --> 00:57:04,027 Speaker 2: And the question I asked there at the end, it 1109 00:57:04,067 --> 00:57:06,347 Speaker 2: was something that was posed to me during the week 1110 00:57:06,667 --> 00:57:09,987 Speaker 2: when we were thinking about this topic, is if your 1111 00:57:10,427 --> 00:57:14,987 Speaker 2: child is a talented young sports person who has started 1112 00:57:15,027 --> 00:57:19,947 Speaker 2: to think about the possibility of a life in professional sport. 1113 00:57:20,027 --> 00:57:23,947 Speaker 2: Would you be in any way reticent about that, in 1114 00:57:23,987 --> 00:57:29,187 Speaker 2: any way worried that they will at some point, if 1115 00:57:29,227 --> 00:57:31,907 Speaker 2: they're successful and go on to be a pro athlete, 1116 00:57:32,347 --> 00:57:38,587 Speaker 2: will have to transition out the other end into a productive, happy, successful, 1117 00:57:38,947 --> 00:57:43,227 Speaker 2: safe life. Oh, eight hundred and eighty ten to eighty one. 1118 00:57:43,227 --> 00:57:45,267 Speaker 2: Thing that some said there that stood out for me, 1119 00:57:45,387 --> 00:57:47,667 Speaker 2: or one of a number of things, was the personal 1120 00:57:47,707 --> 00:57:54,027 Speaker 2: accountability bit. He said, you know that these professional athletes 1121 00:57:54,147 --> 00:57:59,227 Speaker 2: all know they all know that it's it's a limited 1122 00:57:59,267 --> 00:58:02,787 Speaker 2: shelf life the profession they choose. And as I say, 1123 00:58:02,867 --> 00:58:04,987 Speaker 2: there's a lot of life to live after you stop playing. 1124 00:58:06,347 --> 00:58:09,707 Speaker 2: Most people would say, no, one's entitled to work until 1125 00:58:09,707 --> 00:58:11,467 Speaker 2: they're thirty five and then that's it. And I don't 1126 00:58:11,467 --> 00:58:13,787 Speaker 2: think there's any suggestion of that. And there are very 1127 00:58:13,787 --> 00:58:19,187 Speaker 2: few professional sports people who are able to earn enough 1128 00:58:19,187 --> 00:58:22,587 Speaker 2: money in their career to never have to worry about 1129 00:58:22,587 --> 00:58:24,627 Speaker 2: working again. But it's not just the money really, it's 1130 00:58:24,947 --> 00:58:28,467 Speaker 2: the sense of purpose, the mental and physical well being, 1131 00:58:28,507 --> 00:58:30,827 Speaker 2: all that sort of stuff. But what I would say 1132 00:58:30,907 --> 00:58:34,387 Speaker 2: is that professional sports people are put into a very 1133 00:58:34,467 --> 00:58:39,067 Speaker 2: unique bubble. Often very early in their lives. You think 1134 00:58:39,067 --> 00:58:43,027 Speaker 2: about a sportsperson in their late teens coming into a 1135 00:58:43,027 --> 00:58:47,067 Speaker 2: professional rugby environment, if we're going to use a hypothetical here. 1136 00:58:47,907 --> 00:58:51,347 Speaker 2: From the moment they are inside a professional rugby environment, 1137 00:58:51,387 --> 00:58:56,427 Speaker 2: they're told where to be, what to eat, what to wear, 1138 00:58:58,227 --> 00:59:02,227 Speaker 2: everything about what their week will look like, the structure 1139 00:59:02,267 --> 00:59:04,187 Speaker 2: of the week. When they have their meetings, when they 1140 00:59:04,227 --> 00:59:06,947 Speaker 2: have their gym sessions, when they have their days off. 1141 00:59:07,587 --> 00:59:10,427 Speaker 2: A lot of things are done for them. It is 1142 00:59:10,507 --> 00:59:13,147 Speaker 2: not a normal life, not the normal life of a 1143 00:59:13,787 --> 00:59:16,387 Speaker 2: if you if you think of a typical teenager, it's 1144 00:59:16,427 --> 00:59:19,347 Speaker 2: not a normal life. So it's not surprising that when 1145 00:59:19,347 --> 00:59:22,467 Speaker 2: they come to the back end of it they find 1146 00:59:22,507 --> 00:59:24,987 Speaker 2: it a little bit challenging to to go into a 1147 00:59:25,027 --> 00:59:29,307 Speaker 2: normal life. The other one which is very interesting to 1148 00:59:29,347 --> 00:59:32,467 Speaker 2: me is the fact that you have to have a purpose. 1149 00:59:32,547 --> 00:59:36,787 Speaker 2: That there is there is just an innate need among 1150 00:59:36,907 --> 00:59:40,707 Speaker 2: human beings to have a purpose. And once that you 1151 00:59:40,747 --> 00:59:44,107 Speaker 2: know that purpose is taken away, it's got to be 1152 00:59:44,147 --> 00:59:47,627 Speaker 2: replaced by something else. But the qualities that are learned 1153 00:59:47,627 --> 00:59:51,027 Speaker 2: and honed and enhanced in sport have to be valuable 1154 00:59:51,667 --> 00:59:56,427 Speaker 2: useful in other industries, don't They resilience, commitment, reacting to disappointment, 1155 00:59:56,467 --> 01:00:02,547 Speaker 2: problem solving all of that stuff. Leadership. There are a 1156 01:00:02,587 --> 01:00:05,987 Speaker 2: lot of things which are transferable across across industries, and 1157 01:00:06,067 --> 01:00:09,547 Speaker 2: yet it is still a very very difficult bridge to cross, 1158 01:00:10,067 --> 01:00:12,867 Speaker 2: and even the ones who have done it well, like 1159 01:00:12,947 --> 01:00:17,707 Speaker 2: Tim Bateman Francesca was talking earlier about Andy ellis another 1160 01:00:17,747 --> 01:00:21,507 Speaker 2: one who seems to have successfully transitioned into a number 1161 01:00:21,507 --> 01:00:25,347 Speaker 2: of different projects. Posters playing career. But they all say, 1162 01:00:25,427 --> 01:00:28,507 Speaker 2: they will all tell you that it is at the 1163 01:00:28,547 --> 01:00:32,747 Speaker 2: time a challenge to step away. They all know what's 1164 01:00:32,787 --> 01:00:35,147 Speaker 2: going to happen, they all know that it's a limited 1165 01:00:35,147 --> 01:00:40,747 Speaker 2: shelf life, but the vast, vast majority of them find 1166 01:00:40,747 --> 01:00:44,267 Speaker 2: it very very difficult to move away from it for 1167 01:00:44,387 --> 01:00:46,667 Speaker 2: whatever reason that might be, oh, eight hundred and eighty 1168 01:00:46,747 --> 01:00:48,347 Speaker 2: ten eighty, if you've got any thoughts on that, nine two, 1169 01:00:48,467 --> 01:00:50,267 Speaker 2: nine and two on text one twenty six it iss 1170 01:00:50,307 --> 01:00:53,147 Speaker 2: We're back after this. On Weekend Sport, the. 1171 01:00:53,027 --> 01:00:56,387 Speaker 1: Biggest seams in sports are on the Weekend Sports with. 1172 01:00:56,547 --> 01:00:58,067 Speaker 2: Jason Pain and GJ. 1173 01:00:58,267 --> 01:01:01,707 Speaker 1: Gubnomes, New Zealand's most trusted home builder news talks. 1174 01:01:01,707 --> 01:01:06,587 Speaker 2: They'd be one nine on Weekend Sport talking transition from 1175 01:01:06,787 --> 01:01:11,267 Speaker 2: pro sport to life beyond pro sport. Hello, Morris, you 1176 01:01:11,307 --> 01:01:11,587 Speaker 2: get it. 1177 01:01:12,307 --> 01:01:15,627 Speaker 8: You look at sport, there's no different than guys who 1178 01:01:15,627 --> 01:01:18,027 Speaker 8: come out of the army. You're in a you know, 1179 01:01:18,027 --> 01:01:19,867 Speaker 8: you're in your for teen years. You're in a regiment 1180 01:01:19,947 --> 01:01:23,587 Speaker 8: of regime that you transition out into the ta million workforce. 1181 01:01:24,067 --> 01:01:27,107 Speaker 8: And that's what these guys are doing. But the biggest 1182 01:01:27,147 --> 01:01:31,827 Speaker 8: problem is is that you don't have a lot of 1183 01:01:31,867 --> 01:01:35,467 Speaker 8: time to transition. Your career is over and that next 1184 01:01:35,547 --> 01:01:38,667 Speaker 8: day you're unemployed. And if you look at the French 1185 01:01:38,707 --> 01:01:40,307 Speaker 8: what they do with their rugby parts, I think they 1186 01:01:40,307 --> 01:01:43,067 Speaker 8: get a they contribute each each year and if you 1187 01:01:43,147 --> 01:01:46,027 Speaker 8: played over three years, you get a twelve month, you 1188 01:01:46,107 --> 01:01:48,187 Speaker 8: get your salary for twelve months afterwards. Give you that 1189 01:01:48,227 --> 01:01:51,547 Speaker 8: transition time. And I think that that's where you know, 1190 01:01:51,587 --> 01:01:53,747 Speaker 8: for professional sports athletes, they need to start looking at 1191 01:01:53,787 --> 01:01:54,387 Speaker 8: things like that. 1192 01:01:55,227 --> 01:01:57,427 Speaker 2: Yeah, the money one's the interesting one for me, Morris. 1193 01:01:57,467 --> 01:01:59,027 Speaker 2: Like I said to Tim Bateman, you can get by. 1194 01:01:59,107 --> 01:02:01,067 Speaker 2: I mean the stuff might be difficult, Like you know, 1195 01:02:01,067 --> 01:02:03,147 Speaker 2: I say, moving out of a team environment, not having 1196 01:02:03,147 --> 01:02:06,227 Speaker 2: the adulation, you know, not having the skills to cook 1197 01:02:06,387 --> 01:02:07,747 Speaker 2: your own meals and stuff, like that. But you can 1198 01:02:07,827 --> 01:02:10,107 Speaker 2: quickly sort of you know, fudgs your way through that. 1199 01:02:10,187 --> 01:02:12,587 Speaker 2: But it's the financial thing, the fact that the that 1200 01:02:12,587 --> 01:02:15,267 Speaker 2: your paypack it stops. The moment you stop playing your paypack, 1201 01:02:15,307 --> 01:02:17,387 Speaker 2: it stops, but you've still got bills to pay. 1202 01:02:19,107 --> 01:02:21,187 Speaker 8: Yeah, but a lot of things is that, Like you know, 1203 01:02:21,307 --> 01:02:23,347 Speaker 8: I think the biggest thing is that with most people 1204 01:02:23,347 --> 01:02:26,067 Speaker 8: when they're any good money and then the dream, but 1205 01:02:26,067 --> 01:02:28,307 Speaker 8: they in the head they know it's not going to last. 1206 01:02:29,067 --> 01:02:31,347 Speaker 8: And in these areas around that, and I think a 1207 01:02:31,347 --> 01:02:33,507 Speaker 8: lot of the issues people say, oh, well, I'm unemployed, 1208 01:02:33,507 --> 01:02:35,147 Speaker 8: and you know, everyone's fault with their own, but a 1209 01:02:35,147 --> 01:02:36,787 Speaker 8: lot of their own fault because they choose to have 1210 01:02:36,827 --> 01:02:39,027 Speaker 8: an expective, color choose to live the life of Riley 1211 01:02:39,227 --> 01:02:42,067 Speaker 8: and they don't plan to hit and there's a lot 1212 01:02:42,067 --> 01:02:43,787 Speaker 8: of work needs to go into that, and I think 1213 01:02:43,827 --> 01:02:45,867 Speaker 8: what they should be doing is obviously taking a percentage 1214 01:02:45,867 --> 01:02:48,347 Speaker 8: of their paycheck, putting it into a pinch in front. 1215 01:02:48,547 --> 01:02:50,627 Speaker 8: It look twenty years ago, I worked at the freezing works. 1216 01:02:50,667 --> 01:02:52,987 Speaker 8: It was sort of six or seven months a year, 1217 01:02:53,547 --> 01:02:54,987 Speaker 8: but when you got your holloway part at the end 1218 01:02:54,987 --> 01:02:57,267 Speaker 8: of the season, it was substantial, you know, and it 1219 01:02:57,387 --> 01:02:59,027 Speaker 8: got you through most of the rest of the year 1220 01:02:59,707 --> 01:03:03,707 Speaker 8: and and so you know, they need to start looking 1221 01:03:03,707 --> 01:03:05,227 Speaker 8: at things like that. And it's like I said, when 1222 01:03:05,227 --> 01:03:08,227 Speaker 8: the guys leave the military, they leave they think they've 1223 01:03:08,267 --> 01:03:09,627 Speaker 8: got the pinch and that all the rest of it, 1224 01:03:09,627 --> 01:03:14,107 Speaker 8: which allows him to transition into the community. And this 1225 01:03:14,147 --> 01:03:17,027 Speaker 8: is what we're not doing with professional athletes. And the 1226 01:03:17,107 --> 01:03:19,147 Speaker 8: other thing is that a lot of professional athletes have 1227 01:03:19,227 --> 01:03:21,587 Speaker 8: egos which people who join the army and other things 1228 01:03:21,627 --> 01:03:25,507 Speaker 8: don't in that. But I think at the same time, 1229 01:03:25,507 --> 01:03:28,187 Speaker 8: you've got to be responsible yourself and you can't blame hey, 1230 01:03:28,267 --> 01:03:30,787 Speaker 8: what do I do because the day you start sport, 1231 01:03:31,267 --> 01:03:34,307 Speaker 8: you know you've got a shelf life and they do 1232 01:03:34,427 --> 01:03:36,667 Speaker 8: more work on them. And there has to be I 1233 01:03:36,667 --> 01:03:39,547 Speaker 8: think a degree of self responsibility. 1234 01:03:39,427 --> 01:03:41,907 Speaker 2: High degree. London into them a high degree of that, 1235 01:03:41,987 --> 01:03:44,387 Speaker 2: And I totally agree Maris, But I also think there 1236 01:03:44,387 --> 01:03:47,307 Speaker 2: needs to be and there is, I know, some assistance 1237 01:03:47,387 --> 01:03:52,227 Speaker 2: for people who operate in a slightly different bubble than 1238 01:03:52,227 --> 01:03:53,747 Speaker 2: you and I do. Yeah, I mean that's the thing. 1239 01:03:53,947 --> 01:03:56,027 Speaker 2: Sports people are know different from you and I. They've 1240 01:03:56,027 --> 01:03:58,947 Speaker 2: got Kiwi saver, you know, they've they've got the opportunity 1241 01:03:58,987 --> 01:04:01,747 Speaker 2: to you know to put aside a percentage of their 1242 01:04:01,987 --> 01:04:04,667 Speaker 2: salary every month for Kiwi Saver. They've got access to 1243 01:04:04,787 --> 01:04:05,707 Speaker 2: financial advice. 1244 01:04:06,547 --> 01:04:06,747 Speaker 10: You know. 1245 01:04:06,747 --> 01:04:09,187 Speaker 2: They're just like you and I, who who have I 1246 01:04:09,187 --> 01:04:12,827 Speaker 2: guess taken responsibility for our lives. I don't know about you, 1247 01:04:12,827 --> 01:04:16,587 Speaker 2: but I've never had to worry about a job that 1248 01:04:16,667 --> 01:04:19,867 Speaker 2: will come to an end regardless like a professional sportsperson will. 1249 01:04:20,707 --> 01:04:25,827 Speaker 2: But there is a high degree of personal accountability here. 1250 01:04:26,267 --> 01:04:27,947 Speaker 2: But as I said to sim Bateman, when you're a 1251 01:04:27,987 --> 01:04:30,227 Speaker 2: young twenty one twenty two year old, you know, all 1252 01:04:30,267 --> 01:04:32,987 Speaker 2: you're thinking about is your next game, and retirement feels 1253 01:04:33,067 --> 01:04:35,627 Speaker 2: like a lifetime away. 1254 01:04:35,947 --> 01:04:38,187 Speaker 8: But saying that, if you look at some of those 1255 01:04:38,267 --> 01:04:40,947 Speaker 8: kids that have gone on every professional you know, in 1256 01:04:41,107 --> 01:04:46,347 Speaker 8: the guys like Britain Hall, he started spending excessively early 1257 01:04:46,467 --> 01:04:48,027 Speaker 8: on in his career. Then he realized, hey, there's a 1258 01:04:48,107 --> 01:04:50,587 Speaker 8: you know, so then he started planning ahead in using 1259 01:04:50,587 --> 01:04:53,227 Speaker 8: his brain and getting a hidden so he won't fall 1260 01:04:53,267 --> 01:04:55,067 Speaker 8: into that category. And there were a lot of kids, 1261 01:04:55,067 --> 01:04:57,707 Speaker 8: and I think around the rugby scene and professional athletes, 1262 01:04:57,867 --> 01:04:59,787 Speaker 8: they should be actually looking at trades and all the 1263 01:04:59,867 --> 01:05:02,347 Speaker 8: rest of it and looking at where we end after, 1264 01:05:02,547 --> 01:05:05,507 Speaker 8: you know, because it's kind of be a combination of both. 1265 01:05:05,507 --> 01:05:07,827 Speaker 8: And I think there's a degree you've you know, if 1266 01:05:07,827 --> 01:05:09,547 Speaker 8: you're praying for the Warriors, or you're playing for the 1267 01:05:09,547 --> 01:05:11,667 Speaker 8: All Raps, or you're playing for the Blues or whatever, 1268 01:05:12,067 --> 01:05:14,987 Speaker 8: he's also got to be a degree within those organizations 1269 01:05:15,027 --> 01:05:16,947 Speaker 8: or whether it be football for the Phoenix or anything. 1270 01:05:17,787 --> 01:05:19,987 Speaker 8: You know, when you get kids in academies and now 1271 01:05:20,227 --> 01:05:22,427 Speaker 8: it needs to start there giving them that thing. And 1272 01:05:22,707 --> 01:05:25,067 Speaker 8: I think that everyone said, oh I'm going to make 1273 01:05:25,107 --> 01:05:27,107 Speaker 8: I make the Aill Raps. I've made it a life. 1274 01:05:27,107 --> 01:05:29,267 Speaker 8: But you know, only reality is right nine a year, 1275 01:05:29,307 --> 01:05:31,147 Speaker 8: earning three hundred and fifty four a grade a year 1276 01:05:31,147 --> 01:05:33,787 Speaker 8: for a limited period of time. I have a thirty 1277 01:05:33,787 --> 01:05:36,507 Speaker 8: two year old son who is born in his own 1278 01:05:36,667 --> 01:05:38,827 Speaker 8: went to Australia when he's fifteen. He made the Australian 1279 01:05:38,907 --> 01:05:41,147 Speaker 8: Under twenties. They wanted them to do it for Australia 1280 01:05:41,147 --> 01:05:43,067 Speaker 8: and he said, I don't want to do that. I said, 1281 01:05:43,107 --> 01:05:44,187 Speaker 8: what are you going to do? He said, I'll go 1282 01:05:44,227 --> 01:05:46,907 Speaker 8: to university and forget about rugby. And I said why 1283 01:05:46,947 --> 01:05:49,507 Speaker 8: is that? He said, Dad, I in aighty to one 1284 01:05:49,547 --> 01:05:51,347 Speaker 8: hundred grad a year, I'll ruin a body with a 1285 01:05:51,387 --> 01:05:53,827 Speaker 8: tom I'm thirty, you know, I'll be a cripple. He 1286 01:05:53,907 --> 01:05:56,067 Speaker 8: played number eight. He went and got a degree and 1287 01:05:56,107 --> 01:05:58,227 Speaker 8: he was earning four times more than what he earned 1288 01:05:58,267 --> 01:06:01,587 Speaker 8: it rugby. He's now thirty two and he does there 1289 01:06:01,627 --> 01:06:04,467 Speaker 8: any health issues with his body? And he said, you know, 1290 01:06:04,507 --> 01:06:05,987 Speaker 8: he said, I just look.

But it's up I 1378 01:10:55,187 --> 01:10:57,507 Speaker 2: guess it's up to them to take in as much 1379 01:10:57,587 --> 01:11:01,267 Speaker 2: as they want to, whether they start planning for you know, 1380 01:11:01,387 --> 01:11:05,507 Speaker 2: whether they do some some tertiary education, whether they get 1381 01:11:05,547 --> 01:11:07,787 Speaker 2: themselves a qualify cation, all that sort of thing. That's 1382 01:11:07,907 --> 01:11:10,467 Speaker 2: entirely up to the individual, isn't it. You know, the 1383 01:11:11,387 --> 01:11:12,387 Speaker 2: what do they say? You can, you know, you can 1384 01:11:12,467 --> 01:11:13,867 Speaker 2: lead a horse to water, but you know it's up 1385 01:11:13,907 --> 01:11:14,987 Speaker 2: to them whether they drink it or not. 1386 01:11:16,147 --> 01:11:19,707 Speaker 12: Oh, absolutely absolutely.

It 1458 01:14:44,907 --> 01:14:47,627 Speaker 17: had to be him, it was his award, made every 1459 01:14:47,707 --> 01:14:51,227 Speaker 17: single poster winner, and also was given that freedom. So 1460 01:14:51,427 --> 01:14:55,507 Speaker 17: I also feel that if Hoskins Stutu had played in 1461 01:14:55,547 --> 01:14:57,627 Speaker 17: the All Blacks, he might have done something similar. He 1462 01:14:57,747 --> 01:15:00,027 Speaker 17: might have been given that roving commission that Wallace had 1463 01:15:00,667 --> 01:15:04,347 Speaker 17: and just excelled as well. And I personally I think 1464 01:15:04,387 --> 01:15:06,067 Speaker 17: these room for both of them in the All Blacks 1465 01:15:06,107 --> 01:15:09,027 Speaker 17: and it's kind of still strange having someone who was 1466 01:15:09,107 --> 01:15:11,947 Speaker 17: the super rugby player of the year on the outer, 1467 01:15:12,187 --> 01:15:16,187 Speaker 17: but hey, look it's recognition. I think Hoskins stitut who 1468 01:15:16,267 --> 01:15:19,067 Speaker 17: still wants to leave. I think as people are talking 1469 01:15:19,187 --> 01:15:24,027 Speaker 17: to n Z Rugby and initially we're rebuffed, but he'll 1470 01:15:24,027 --> 01:15:27,387 Speaker 17: play another season for the Blues. I think he really 1471 01:15:27,427 --> 01:15:31,387 Speaker 17: wants to win another title for vern Cotter and is 1472 01:15:31,427 --> 01:15:33,987 Speaker 17: a you know, they've got a great of team chemistry there. 1473 01:15:34,427 --> 01:15:36,867 Speaker 17: But then after that the offers are on the table 1474 01:15:37,627 --> 01:15:40,507 Speaker 17: and all roads according to England, I think for Hoskins 1475 01:15:41,067 --> 01:15:42,987 Speaker 17: if he can get out of that contract. 1476 01:15:43,907 --> 01:15:48,027 Speaker 2: Now, you turned breaking news journalist during the week on 1477 01:15:49,147 --> 01:15:52,587 Speaker 2: X formerly Twitter when you dropped a rugby bombshell letting 1478 01:15:52,667 --> 01:15:55,507 Speaker 2: us all that Shawn Stevenson is leaving the Chiefs to 1479 01:15:55,627 --> 01:15:56,387 Speaker 2: play in Japan. 1480 01:15:56,947 --> 01:15:59,707 Speaker 17: Yeah, apparently prematurely. I have been told off for that tweet. 1481 01:15:59,747 --> 01:16:01,467 Speaker 17: I mean, you're never too old to get told off, 1482 01:16:01,507 --> 01:16:05,427 Speaker 17: pony No. But they are in talks and that is 1483 01:16:05,827 --> 01:16:08,827 Speaker 17: Liam Wee, the Welsh fallback. It was at Kubota he 1484 01:16:08,947 --> 01:16:11,107 Speaker 17: had to leave, so there was a big gap with 1485 01:16:11,227 --> 01:16:15,507 Speaker 17: a massive salary attached in Japan and Seawan Stevenson. I 1486 01:16:15,587 --> 01:16:18,467 Speaker 17: mean there have been stories of him stiffing around NRL, 1487 01:16:19,147 --> 01:16:22,467 Speaker 17: the Warriors, the Roosters, but this one here is a 1488 01:16:22,547 --> 01:16:25,147 Speaker 17: big money deal. I think it's going to go ahead. 1489 01:16:25,667 --> 01:16:28,547 Speaker 17: Sean Stevenson will go up to Japan. I think he's 1490 01:16:28,627 --> 01:16:31,627 Speaker 17: kissed as all blacks hopes goodbye. I mean the writing 1491 01:16:31,747 --> 01:16:34,267 Speaker 17: was on the wall, I think when Schaefi Hackey was 1492 01:16:34,347 --> 01:16:39,067 Speaker 17: called into the wider training group for the Abs. So look, 1493 01:16:39,267 --> 01:16:42,907 Speaker 17: I think you want these players to obviously play in 1494 01:16:42,987 --> 01:16:45,267 Speaker 17: New Zealand because it makes a competition so much better. 1495 01:16:45,347 --> 01:16:49,307 Speaker 17: He is electric and excitement machine. But you just go well, 1496 01:16:49,987 --> 01:16:52,667 Speaker 17: to be honest, you know, how can you say no 1497 01:16:52,787 --> 01:16:55,467 Speaker 17: to that money if there's a way to make it happen. 1498 01:16:55,667 --> 01:16:58,227 Speaker 17: I say, fair enough. If you go, there's always talent 1499 01:16:58,307 --> 01:16:58,747 Speaker 17: coming through. 1500 01:16:59,387 --> 01:17:02,347 Speaker 2: This is such an interesting case study, isn't it, Because 1501 01:17:02,387 --> 01:17:05,747 Speaker 2: it was after the twenty twenty three Super Rugby season 1502 01:17:05,787 --> 01:17:09,587 Speaker 2: when Stevenson was probably the standout player in the competition, 1503 01:17:09,707 --> 01:17:12,307 Speaker 2: and it would it just seems so obvious to pick 1504 01:17:12,387 --> 01:17:13,747 Speaker 2: him for the All Blacks and he got he got 1505 01:17:13,787 --> 01:17:15,707 Speaker 2: the one Test and he down to Dunedin. Is that right? 1506 01:17:15,867 --> 01:17:18,587 Speaker 17: That's right, played one Test in a World Cup year 1507 01:17:18,627 --> 01:17:21,147 Speaker 17: which he would have been feeling pretty bullish about, but 1508 01:17:21,867 --> 01:17:25,387 Speaker 17: missed out on the squad and a bit like Hoskins, really, 1509 01:17:25,507 --> 01:17:28,547 Speaker 17: you know, there was just, let's face it, probably the 1510 01:17:29,067 --> 01:17:31,507 Speaker 17: two best Super Rugby players over the past two seasons 1511 01:17:31,587 --> 01:17:34,027 Speaker 17: just can't get a looking at their next step up. 1512 01:17:34,027 --> 01:17:35,467 Speaker 17: And I think it makes a big difference to how 1513 01:17:35,467 --> 01:17:39,147 Speaker 17: you're feeling about your path or your progression really in 1514 01:17:39,587 --> 01:17:42,147 Speaker 17: the sport. And right now it's probably time as a 1515 01:17:42,227 --> 01:17:44,587 Speaker 17: twenty eight year old fullback to go and make some money. 1516 01:17:45,147 --> 01:17:47,187 Speaker 2: Absolutely right, We'll keep an eye on that, will keep 1517 01:17:47,187 --> 01:17:49,107 Speaker 2: an eye on your Twitter account for the most to 1518 01:17:49,187 --> 01:17:54,147 Speaker 2: dates breaking news if you aren't indeed still allowed to tweet. Body, Yeah, 1519 01:17:55,107 --> 01:17:56,027 Speaker 2: make these decisions. 1520 01:17:56,347 --> 01:17:59,067 Speaker 17: I've got a shot Colin. Now that's been given to me. 1521 01:17:59,227 --> 01:18:04,387 Speaker 17: So normally my guideline for tweeting is don't tweet anything 1522 01:18:04,507 --> 01:18:06,387 Speaker 17: or any joke that you couldn't tell your grandmother. I 1523 01:18:06,427 --> 01:18:08,867 Speaker 17: thought that was a pretty good guideline, but now I've 1524 01:18:08,947 --> 01:18:11,547 Speaker 17: got some new ones. So yeah, the shot collar is 1525 01:18:11,587 --> 01:18:12,587 Speaker 17: on all right. 1526 01:18:12,667 --> 01:18:16,467 Speaker 2: Excellent. Other matters around the A League, the derby last 1527 01:18:16,507 --> 01:18:19,067 Speaker 2: week it continued just simmer, didn't it. The A League 1528 01:18:19,107 --> 01:18:22,027 Speaker 2: Derby with the coach's war of words. I think the 1529 01:18:22,067 --> 01:18:25,227 Speaker 2: players kind of moved on quite quickly, Jim Caloer Taliana 1530 01:18:25,267 --> 01:18:27,627 Speaker 2: and Steve Coriic. It continued to sort of, I guess, 1531 01:18:27,747 --> 01:18:29,467 Speaker 2: go at each other a little bit in the days 1532 01:18:29,507 --> 01:18:29,987 Speaker 2: that followed. 1533 01:18:30,427 --> 01:18:33,587 Speaker 17: Oh absolutely, this is exactly what that sport needs. So 1534 01:18:34,027 --> 01:18:37,387 Speaker 17: we were there for the twenty six thousand game, the 1535 01:18:37,507 --> 01:18:40,827 Speaker 17: derby game, Piney and then Poor I'll talk about falling 1536 01:18:40,867 --> 01:18:46,147 Speaker 17: off a cliff. The Wellington Phoenix hosted MacArthur yesterday and 1537 01:18:46,307 --> 01:18:47,507 Speaker 17: it was seven thousand. 1538 01:18:47,227 --> 01:18:49,027 Speaker 2: I think at the captain yep. 1539 01:18:49,507 --> 01:18:52,907 Speaker 17: So this is where the issue, I think for all 1540 01:18:53,227 --> 01:18:55,827 Speaker 17: New Zealand sports really is how do you keep that interest? 1541 01:18:55,867 --> 01:18:58,787 Speaker 17: How do you get people through the gates. There's a 1542 01:18:58,827 --> 01:19:00,947 Speaker 17: lot of work to be done on the marketing side, 1543 01:19:00,987 --> 01:19:04,067 Speaker 17: on the game day experience. And now we watch with 1544 01:19:04,187 --> 01:19:07,067 Speaker 17: interest because I think the battle is not just on 1545 01:19:07,227 --> 01:19:11,147 Speaker 17: the field. I think off the field merchandise. The Aukland 1546 01:19:11,187 --> 01:19:14,667 Speaker 17: NEFC have sold twenty thousand shirts. The Warriors I think 1547 01:19:14,787 --> 01:19:18,547 Speaker 17: sold thirty nine thousand last season jerseys, so they're sort 1548 01:19:18,587 --> 01:19:21,347 Speaker 17: of like that's their goal to get up to past 1549 01:19:21,387 --> 01:19:25,747 Speaker 17: thirty nine thousand, and I'm sure the Wellington Phoenix will 1550 01:19:25,787 --> 01:19:27,667 Speaker 17: be acutely aware of the fact that they need to 1551 01:19:27,787 --> 01:19:29,227 Speaker 17: keep up in that race as well. 1552 01:19:29,787 --> 01:19:32,427 Speaker 2: Have to and bumps in seats. They have to, James, 1553 01:19:32,547 --> 01:19:33,747 Speaker 2: they have to lift their game. 1554 01:19:33,987 --> 01:19:34,227 Speaker 7: They do. 1555 01:19:34,707 --> 01:19:38,467 Speaker 2: They have to. It's it's not negotiable. Now, You're so right. 1556 01:19:38,547 --> 01:19:41,307 Speaker 2: The difference between what we saw last weekend and yes, 1557 01:19:41,307 --> 01:19:43,387 Speaker 2: I know it wasn't a derby in Wellington yesterday, but 1558 01:19:44,547 --> 01:19:46,707 Speaker 2: the difference is stark. They have to lift their off 1559 01:19:46,707 --> 01:19:47,787 Speaker 2: field game the nixt they do. 1560 01:19:48,547 --> 01:19:50,667 Speaker 17: And the thing is on the field. The Knicks are 1561 01:19:50,707 --> 01:19:53,787 Speaker 17: looking okay, but still a loss yesterday, a loss to 1562 01:19:53,827 --> 01:19:56,387 Speaker 17: Auckland the f C that's sliding down the table. To 1563 01:19:56,507 --> 01:19:59,707 Speaker 17: be honest, if there was if both our New Zealand 1564 01:19:59,747 --> 01:20:02,307 Speaker 17: teams make the playoffs, and I hope they do. I 1565 01:20:02,387 --> 01:20:06,267 Speaker 17: actually think that the Phoenix are just as well as 1566 01:20:06,707 --> 01:20:10,667 Speaker 17: to do really well to win it, because imagine a 1567 01:20:10,747 --> 01:20:14,987 Speaker 17: firt Marco Rojas and obviously Costa Barbarusis and Alex Rufer 1568 01:20:15,267 --> 01:20:17,507 Speaker 17: just getting and she gave the new Japanese player. So 1569 01:20:17,867 --> 01:20:20,187 Speaker 17: you can't feel down in the dumps about the results 1570 01:20:20,347 --> 01:20:25,027 Speaker 17: just yet. Phoenix fans, it just needs to somehow get 1571 01:20:25,107 --> 01:20:27,747 Speaker 17: that alchemy that that chief he found last year with 1572 01:20:27,827 --> 01:20:28,147 Speaker 17: the team. 1573 01:20:28,547 --> 01:20:30,987 Speaker 2: Indeed, hey, quick word on Kaitlyn Clark. She's won the 1574 01:20:31,147 --> 01:20:33,067 Speaker 2: Time magazine Athlete of the Year. 1575 01:20:33,907 --> 01:20:37,347 Speaker 17: Yes, Caitlyn Clark, the basketballer who all eyes were on 1576 01:20:37,467 --> 01:20:39,587 Speaker 17: her when she was at Iowa. She's twenty two now, 1577 01:20:39,907 --> 01:20:42,627 Speaker 17: played her first season in the WNBA, was named Rookie 1578 01:20:42,667 --> 01:20:45,587 Speaker 17: of the Year, All NBA First Team of the Year. 1579 01:20:46,067 --> 01:20:50,307 Speaker 17: She finished with an average of nineteen points and eight assists, 1580 01:20:50,787 --> 01:20:52,867 Speaker 17: and now she's Time Athlete of the Year. And the 1581 01:20:52,987 --> 01:20:56,587 Speaker 17: criticism the Caitlyn Clark haters are everywhere. They're coming in. 1582 01:20:56,627 --> 01:20:59,227 Speaker 17: They're coming in from the league itself, which I think 1583 01:20:59,347 --> 01:21:03,627 Speaker 17: is just shocking. Really, You've actually got to just appreciate 1584 01:21:04,187 --> 01:21:07,347 Speaker 17: sometimes there is such a thing as buzz and look 1585 01:21:07,387 --> 01:21:10,187 Speaker 17: at Reagun, she's probably athlete of the year, right, you know, 1586 01:21:10,787 --> 01:21:15,747 Speaker 17: But in this case, well she won the Olympics and 1587 01:21:16,227 --> 01:21:18,387 Speaker 17: she got dead last. So I mean, in this case, 1588 01:21:18,427 --> 01:21:21,547 Speaker 17: we're talking about someone who is outstanding. Yes, she's at 1589 01:21:21,587 --> 01:21:24,227 Speaker 17: the start of her career. But I remember when there 1590 01:21:24,267 --> 01:21:26,587 Speaker 17: was a young Indian guy who came here who just 1591 01:21:26,707 --> 01:21:30,387 Speaker 17: made his debut age sixteen, Sashin ten Dolka, and I 1592 01:21:30,547 --> 01:21:33,347 Speaker 17: got to interview him. He had two bodyguards with him 1593 01:21:33,347 --> 01:21:36,507 Speaker 17: actually at the Devon Hotel in New Plymouth. One was 1594 01:21:36,627 --> 01:21:38,907 Speaker 17: Mohammed az Radin and the other was Capal dev So 1595 01:21:39,387 --> 01:21:41,667 Speaker 17: they wouldn't let him ask a question answer a question 1596 01:21:42,187 --> 01:21:45,387 Speaker 17: without sort of vetting at first. But the buzz around 1597 01:21:45,507 --> 01:21:48,187 Speaker 17: him was similar. Sometimes he wasn't the best in the 1598 01:21:48,227 --> 01:21:51,227 Speaker 17: world at that point, but everyone was talking about this kid, 1599 01:21:51,627 --> 01:21:54,627 Speaker 17: and I think that sometimes happens. Not it's been dragged 1600 01:21:54,667 --> 01:22:00,067 Speaker 17: into a race based sort of argument and debate, and 1601 01:22:00,107 --> 01:22:02,827 Speaker 17: I don't think that's necessarily a factor. I think she 1602 01:22:02,987 --> 01:22:07,547 Speaker 17: just kepture the imagination of basketba fans around the world, 1603 01:22:08,227 --> 01:22:11,027 Speaker 17: and people need this a little layoff because I think 1604 01:22:11,067 --> 01:22:13,987 Speaker 17: it's this is the last thing you need, really when 1605 01:22:14,107 --> 01:22:16,707 Speaker 17: someone is doing something. I think that's really positive for 1606 01:22:16,787 --> 01:22:17,147 Speaker 17: the sport. 1607 01:22:17,707 --> 01:22:19,947 Speaker 2: Yep, the buzz is real great to chat as always. 1608 01:22:20,027 --> 01:22:22,667 Speaker 2: James Sali's st it again next Sunday.

Collens. 1777 01:31:07,347 --> 01:31:09,507 Speaker 18: Collen's a great footballer and he stood up to the 1778 01:31:09,587 --> 01:31:11,867 Speaker 18: challenge and did just as well as Roki did in 1779 01:31:12,267 --> 01:31:14,227 Speaker 18: And again I can't speak highly enough of this team. 1780 01:31:14,307 --> 01:31:16,987 Speaker 18: And you know, again this week we might we will 1781 01:31:17,027 --> 01:31:19,787 Speaker 18: have challenges that come and go, and we've got players 1782 01:31:19,827 --> 01:31:22,387 Speaker 18: that are ready, so we just need to do our 1783 01:31:22,467 --> 01:31:24,667 Speaker 18: job and rely on the players that come in. 1784 01:31:25,147 --> 01:31:29,867 Speaker 2: The long long streak without conceding was finally ended despite 1785 01:31:29,907 --> 01:31:32,387 Speaker 2: the win. Was there any minor disappointment that you couldn't 1786 01:31:32,427 --> 01:31:34,587 Speaker 2: go six straight games without conceding? 1787 01:31:35,147 --> 01:31:36,947 Speaker 18: Of course, but that just shows how good we are 1788 01:31:36,987 --> 01:31:39,467 Speaker 18: as a football club, is that we're disappointed about conceding 1789 01:31:39,507 --> 01:31:42,107 Speaker 18: a goal. And to be honest with you, as said, 1790 01:31:42,147 --> 01:31:43,547 Speaker 18: as it was that we did concede. I think it 1791 01:31:43,667 --> 01:31:47,267 Speaker 18: was good because we're probably not used to conceding. And 1792 01:31:47,467 --> 01:31:47,907 Speaker 18: you know, the. 1793 01:31:49,427 --> 01:31:50,267 Speaker 21: All the defenders, you. 1794 01:31:50,267 --> 01:31:53,747 Speaker 18: Know, they're all doing absolutely brilliant and I can't speak 1795 01:31:53,787 --> 01:31:54,747 Speaker 18: early enough of them as well. 1796 01:31:54,867 --> 01:31:57,507 Speaker 2: Of course, you're I mean you sort of have made 1797 01:31:57,547 --> 01:31:59,867 Speaker 2: your name in a min midfield role more I guess, 1798 01:31:59,907 --> 01:32:01,587 Speaker 2: more of an attacking role over time. But do you 1799 01:32:01,627 --> 01:32:03,827 Speaker 2: still take pride as well in your in your part 1800 01:32:04,187 --> 01:32:07,707 Speaker 2: to play in such a good defensive start to the season. 1801 01:32:08,627 --> 01:32:09,747 Speaker 21: Yeah, of course, definitely. 1802 01:32:09,827 --> 01:32:12,507 Speaker 18: I admire them at the back, but also you know, 1803 01:32:12,547 --> 01:32:14,227 Speaker 18: I look at everyone in the team and the work 1804 01:32:14,267 --> 01:32:16,187 Speaker 18: they do. You know, we've got players that are clocking 1805 01:32:16,267 --> 01:32:18,707 Speaker 18: up twelve and a half kilometers as wingers and as 1806 01:32:18,747 --> 01:32:20,787 Speaker 18: strikers and myself as well. 1807 01:32:20,907 --> 01:32:23,227 Speaker 21: So you think everyone talks about. 1808 01:32:22,987 --> 01:32:24,987 Speaker 18: The defenders and stuff like that, but we defend from 1809 01:32:24,987 --> 01:32:27,187 Speaker 18: the front, and you know, if they managed to beat 1810 01:32:27,267 --> 01:32:29,187 Speaker 18: us up front, you look at all the opportunities we've had, 1811 01:32:29,507 --> 01:32:32,027 Speaker 18: you know, in the attacking third, from winning the ball 1812 01:32:32,107 --> 01:32:34,627 Speaker 18: back higher up the pitch. But then you also look 1813 01:32:34,667 --> 01:32:37,627 Speaker 18: when they when they break that press and the defenders 1814 01:32:37,627 --> 01:32:40,547 Speaker 18: stand up and they have that do not die attitude, 1815 01:32:40,547 --> 01:32:42,627 Speaker 18: you know what I mean, They put their body on 1816 01:32:42,667 --> 01:32:44,827 Speaker 18: the line for everything, and it's just yeah, it's it's 1817 01:32:44,867 --> 01:32:46,027 Speaker 18: obviously very pleasing. 1818 01:32:45,827 --> 01:32:49,107 Speaker 21: As someone that's a bit higher up the pitch and 1819 01:32:49,227 --> 01:32:50,107 Speaker 21: what they do at the back. 1820 01:32:50,667 --> 01:32:53,907 Speaker 2: So in the in the search for continual improvement, where 1821 01:32:53,947 --> 01:32:56,827 Speaker 2: do you think the big growth theorys are still to come. 1822 01:32:56,987 --> 01:33:01,147 Speaker 21: In the Auckland side, I'd probably say a bit more 1823 01:33:01,627 --> 01:33:02,547 Speaker 21: patient on the ball. 1824 01:33:03,187 --> 01:33:05,387 Speaker 18: I think we've got room for improvement in terms of 1825 01:33:05,467 --> 01:33:08,187 Speaker 18: moving the ball around quicker and you know, probably not 1826 01:33:08,307 --> 01:33:12,107 Speaker 18: forcing things as much. But also I think you look 1827 01:33:12,147 --> 01:33:13,987 Speaker 18: at the games and the opportunities we have. We have 1828 01:33:14,147 --> 01:33:16,987 Speaker 18: twenty odd shots a game and we're probably not executing 1829 01:33:17,027 --> 01:33:18,867 Speaker 18: that as much. So I think that's probably somewhere where 1830 01:33:19,267 --> 01:33:20,707 Speaker 18: we can get a little bit better at. But like 1831 01:33:20,787 --> 01:33:22,627 Speaker 18: you say, we're still jelling, we're still a new team 1832 01:33:23,187 --> 01:33:24,467 Speaker 18: and at the end of the day, where we're going 1833 01:33:24,507 --> 01:33:25,587 Speaker 18: to improve automatically. 1834 01:33:25,627 --> 01:33:28,627 Speaker 2: Anyway, There's been plenty of chat around this week, mainly 1835 01:33:28,667 --> 01:33:31,387 Speaker 2: involving the coaches actually that the early season draw has 1836 01:33:31,867 --> 01:33:33,067 Speaker 2: favored Auckland FC. 1837 01:33:33,267 --> 01:33:36,307 Speaker 18: Do you have a view on that, Well, you think 1838 01:33:37,067 --> 01:33:40,067 Speaker 18: the Auckland staff plan, plan the drawer, that's the that's 1839 01:33:40,107 --> 01:33:40,947 Speaker 18: the apl they do. 1840 01:33:41,067 --> 01:33:42,827 Speaker 21: All that has nothing to do with our club. Then 1841 01:33:43,467 --> 01:33:45,187 Speaker 21: you know, for some clubs it's not. 1842 01:33:45,307 --> 01:33:47,827 Speaker 18: But like the manager said in these interview the other days, 1843 01:33:47,947 --> 01:33:49,147 Speaker 18: at the end of the season, we're going to be 1844 01:33:49,187 --> 01:33:51,427 Speaker 18: playing a lot more away games, so it is what 1845 01:33:51,547 --> 01:33:51,787 Speaker 18: it is. 1846 01:33:52,707 --> 01:33:54,387 Speaker 21: It's nothing to do with us, and we just worry 1847 01:33:54,387 --> 01:33:55,227 Speaker 21: about what we have to do. 1848 01:33:55,867 --> 01:33:57,827 Speaker 2: And have you I know, I know you only focused 1849 01:33:57,827 --> 01:33:59,307 Speaker 2: on the Melbourne city, but have you thought about the 1850 01:33:59,307 --> 01:34:02,027 Speaker 2: first time you play Victory New Year's Day in Auckland. 1851 01:34:02,667 --> 01:34:04,347 Speaker 21: Yeah, I look, I take a game by game, but 1852 01:34:04,467 --> 01:34:05,827 Speaker 21: you're right, yes, I definitely have. 1853 01:34:06,667 --> 01:34:08,867 Speaker 18: Look, I've got no bad love with Victory.

Incredible stuff. 1876 01:35:02,707 --> 01:35:06,947 Speaker 2: To nineteen. Will O'Rourke has not achieved the hat trick. Unfortunately, 1877 01:35:07,347 --> 01:35:10,747 Speaker 2: he got wickets off the last two balls of his 1878 01:35:10,867 --> 01:35:13,827 Speaker 2: previous over which we brought to you when he had 1879 01:35:14,067 --> 01:35:16,387 Speaker 2: Bethel caught in the gully by Glenn Phillips and then 1880 01:35:16,587 --> 01:35:20,907 Speaker 2: Harry Brooke chopping on. But it feels to me as 1881 01:35:20,947 --> 01:35:22,467 Speaker 2: though he may not have got the hat trick. But 1882 01:35:22,507 --> 01:35:25,027 Speaker 2: has he just got another wicket?

Hayden 1939 01:38:09,187 --> 01:38:10,987 Speaker 7: had a bit of a gap and he took off 1940 01:38:11,227 --> 01:38:13,227 Speaker 7: and he was flying. He's running the first couple of 1941 01:38:13,627 --> 01:38:17,067 Speaker 7: k's about three minutes to k so she's it's pretty 1942 01:38:17,067 --> 01:38:18,907 Speaker 7: handy to go five hundred meters, isn't it? 1943 01:38:18,987 --> 01:38:21,827 Speaker 3: But Hayden was he he was caught. 1944 01:38:21,987 --> 01:38:24,627 Speaker 7: He was caught with about two k's to go and 1945 01:38:24,747 --> 01:38:27,067 Speaker 7: that was it all over to him in the World Championship. 1946 01:38:27,067 --> 01:38:27,947 Speaker 15: But he had a pretty good lead. 1947 01:38:28,307 --> 01:38:32,067 Speaker 7: But yeah, Yellowgean minister, surrealerm and win the World Championship. 1948 01:38:32,787 --> 01:38:36,027 Speaker 2: Incredible stuff. Was this expected? Did you expect Hayden whild 1949 01:38:36,067 --> 01:38:38,227 Speaker 2: to do so well as you say? He led on 1950 01:38:38,427 --> 01:38:41,307 Speaker 2: the run, only overtaken and finishes on the podium in 1951 01:38:41,387 --> 01:38:44,587 Speaker 2: second place? Was that what you expected from him pre race? 1952 01:38:45,947 --> 01:38:46,107 Speaker 10: Yeah? 1953 01:38:46,427 --> 01:38:48,587 Speaker 7: I did, I knew I thought he'd get a podium. 1954 01:38:48,627 --> 01:38:49,987 Speaker 14: I really didn't think he'd get a podium. 1955 01:38:50,027 --> 01:38:51,867 Speaker 7: That didn't know which part it would be. But you know, 1956 01:38:52,067 --> 01:38:54,227 Speaker 7: I think he was definitely one of the pre race favorites. 1957 01:38:54,467 --> 01:38:55,547 Speaker 5: Carl Smith was all. 1958 01:38:55,907 --> 01:38:57,107 Speaker 7: Going to be up there when you got kind of 1959 01:38:57,347 --> 01:39:00,067 Speaker 7: Leo Beigiere from France who rounded out their podium. But 1960 01:39:00,307 --> 01:39:02,827 Speaker 7: at a Gean's in middle distance racing has been going 1961 01:39:02,867 --> 01:39:05,467 Speaker 7: exceptionally well for a very long time, and you know, 1962 01:39:05,667 --> 01:39:07,827 Speaker 7: I think to him, we always knew he'd come at 1963 01:39:07,827 --> 01:39:11,507 Speaker 7: the end, and Hayden, unfortunately for him, blew up the weyit. 1964 01:39:11,747 --> 01:39:13,467 Speaker 7: He slowed down quite a bit in his last couple 1965 01:39:13,507 --> 01:39:16,507 Speaker 7: of k's whereas the other again the center keeps speeding 1966 01:39:16,627 --> 01:39:18,947 Speaker 7: up and in the end it was just too much 1967 01:39:18,987 --> 01:39:21,587 Speaker 7: for Hayden. But a second place is still an absolute 1968 01:39:22,227 --> 01:39:22,947 Speaker 7: legendary effort. 1969 01:39:23,027 --> 01:39:25,987 Speaker 2: Really, Oh absolutely, he'll look there's absolutely no question about that. 1970 01:39:26,067 --> 01:39:27,507 Speaker 2: I just wonder how much he would have had to 1971 01:39:28,187 --> 01:39:30,267 Speaker 2: alter his training. We're so used to seeing him, Cameron, 1972 01:39:30,267 --> 01:39:33,547 Speaker 2: aren't we. In the Olympic distances, the shorter distances, would 1973 01:39:33,587 --> 01:39:35,387 Speaker 2: he have had to do a lot different than the 1974 01:39:35,467 --> 01:39:37,747 Speaker 2: lead up to this, or would the base have been 1975 01:39:37,787 --> 01:39:38,867 Speaker 2: there already for him? 1976 01:39:39,747 --> 01:39:40,787 Speaker 3: Well, the base would have been there. 1977 01:39:40,827 --> 01:39:42,907 Speaker 7: You know, Hayden is a young guy. He did a 1978 01:39:42,947 --> 01:39:44,987 Speaker 7: lot of multi sport at the coast to coast and 1979 01:39:45,147 --> 01:39:47,387 Speaker 7: Brian Ashvill tell you all about that sometimes be to 1980 01:39:47,467 --> 01:39:50,387 Speaker 7: the coast to coast so much a couple of times. 1981 01:39:50,467 --> 01:39:52,387 Speaker 7: The young man did a lot of multi sport racing 1982 01:39:52,427 --> 01:39:54,547 Speaker 7: as a young man in propoparity. So he's had a 1983 01:39:54,707 --> 01:39:57,067 Speaker 7: huge endurance based for a long time. And he often 1984 01:39:57,107 --> 01:39:59,387 Speaker 7: says in that short distance he can't quite show off 1985 01:39:59,467 --> 01:40:02,107 Speaker 7: his bike still because he's very very good the longer 1986 01:40:02,187 --> 01:40:04,547 Speaker 7: it goes on a bike ride. So yeah, for him, 1987 01:40:04,867 --> 01:40:06,867 Speaker 7: a lot of those shorter distance go they do a 1988 01:40:06,907 --> 01:40:09,667 Speaker 7: lot of middle distance training, sort of the seventy point 1989 01:40:09,747 --> 01:40:12,747 Speaker 7: three kind of training and then really sharpen up for 1990 01:40:12,947 --> 01:40:16,067 Speaker 7: those shorter distances. So so then to transfer across to 1991 01:40:16,107 --> 01:40:18,267 Speaker 7: be able to do this middle distance racing, it's not 1992 01:40:18,427 --> 01:40:19,587 Speaker 7: that much of a stretch. 1993 01:40:19,347 --> 01:40:21,427 Speaker 2: For them, all right. And in terms of the way 1994 01:40:21,507 --> 01:40:26,347 Speaker 2: the race played out in general terms, do most triathletes, 1995 01:40:26,387 --> 01:40:28,507 Speaker 2: most iron men and women, are they able to hold 1996 01:40:28,587 --> 01:40:30,427 Speaker 2: on on the run or is the runoff in a 1997 01:40:30,467 --> 01:40:33,147 Speaker 2: place where there's quite a bit of positional change? 1998 01:40:33,987 --> 01:40:36,507 Speaker 7: Yeah, there are exactly right, fine, I mean give you 1999 01:40:36,507 --> 01:40:39,427 Speaker 7: an idea. The gentleman from the US. It was in 2000 01:40:39,587 --> 01:40:41,747 Speaker 7: the lead at the end, at the start of the swim, 2001 01:40:41,867 --> 01:40:44,507 Speaker 7: ended up placing I think about thirty second, So you know, 2002 01:40:44,867 --> 01:40:46,347 Speaker 7: the rest of the day with people go and past 2003 01:40:46,387 --> 01:40:48,507 Speaker 7: them un fortunately, But I mean the pace is so 2004 01:40:48,707 --> 01:40:52,307 Speaker 7: high in these races. Every year, these young guys are 2005 01:40:52,347 --> 01:40:54,827 Speaker 7: seem to have a revolution in the sport and they 2006 01:40:54,907 --> 01:40:56,627 Speaker 7: get quicker and quicker and quicker. 2007 01:40:56,707 --> 01:40:58,747 Speaker 14: I mean, give a bit of context. 2008 01:40:59,027 --> 01:41:01,827 Speaker 7: You know, seventy point three is the miles, so put 2009 01:41:01,867 --> 01:41:03,587 Speaker 7: them in the caves. But you know one point nine 2010 01:41:03,707 --> 01:41:07,027 Speaker 7: k swim, ninety k's in the bike, one on the run, 2011 01:41:07,387 --> 01:41:09,867 Speaker 7: three hours eighty two to get that all done. I mean, 2012 01:41:09,947 --> 01:41:12,427 Speaker 7: it's just haziness, really, isn't it. The pace these guys 2013 01:41:12,467 --> 01:41:12,947 Speaker 7: are going. 2014 01:41:13,627 --> 01:41:16,987 Speaker 2: It's eye watering. It's so right, m it's eye watering 2015 01:41:17,067 --> 01:41:20,667 Speaker 2: how quick they are going. So when they're looking for improvements, like, 2016 01:41:21,827 --> 01:41:23,907 Speaker 2: is there one of the three disciplines where it's where 2017 01:41:23,947 --> 01:41:26,347 Speaker 2: it's I guess I'm not going to say easier, but 2018 01:41:26,627 --> 01:41:28,827 Speaker 2: where you would look to get to make your gains. 2019 01:41:28,827 --> 01:41:31,187 Speaker 2: I feel like a ninety k bike race because of 2020 01:41:31,227 --> 01:41:33,347 Speaker 2: the longer distance or ninetyk on the bike, the longer 2021 01:41:33,387 --> 01:41:35,067 Speaker 2: distance you might be able to make your games. There, 2022 01:41:35,227 --> 01:41:36,067 Speaker 2: Is that accurate or not? 2023 01:41:36,827 --> 01:41:37,627 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you're right. 2024 01:41:37,707 --> 01:41:40,347 Speaker 7: I mean it's most everyday triathletes and they go out 2025 01:41:40,347 --> 01:41:41,747 Speaker 7: and have a go. That's in amounty games. 2026 01:41:41,747 --> 01:41:43,747 Speaker 5: They do make gains in that ninety k bike ride. 2027 01:41:43,987 --> 01:41:45,867 Speaker 7: But you know, I think you've got to be fit 2028 01:41:45,987 --> 01:41:47,787 Speaker 7: enough though, to be able to ride your bike and 2029 01:41:47,867 --> 01:41:49,427 Speaker 7: come off with good enough condition to be able to 2030 01:41:49,507 --> 01:41:51,427 Speaker 7: run whatever distance it is that you've got in that 2031 01:41:51,507 --> 01:41:54,187 Speaker 7: triathlon for this one and a half marathon. But just 2032 01:41:54,467 --> 01:41:56,947 Speaker 7: the pace these guys run. But just in general, I 2033 01:41:56,987 --> 01:42:00,427 Speaker 7: mean there's three thousand, eight hundred athletes from one hundred 2034 01:42:00,427 --> 01:42:03,507 Speaker 7: and nineteen countries on the course today, just in the 2035 01:42:03,587 --> 01:42:06,307 Speaker 7: men's race. A whole lot of women in the race yesterday. 2036 01:42:06,747 --> 01:42:09,307 Speaker 7: So on the race here in Topaul, three eight hundred 2037 01:42:09,307 --> 01:42:11,627 Speaker 7: people from on hundred and nineteen countries. I mean Topaul 2038 01:42:11,747 --> 01:42:14,827 Speaker 7: is absolutely heaving, flying and succeeding at the moment. 2039 01:42:15,267 --> 01:42:17,067 Speaker 2: Yeah, love it, love it. And yeah, Taylor nib we 2040 01:42:17,067 --> 01:42:19,267 Speaker 2: should mention her winner on the women's race yesterday. Was 2041 01:42:19,267 --> 01:42:20,107 Speaker 2: she a popular winner? 2042 01:42:20,867 --> 01:42:23,507 Speaker 7: Well, a very popular winner, and you'd be very brave 2043 01:42:23,627 --> 01:42:26,987 Speaker 7: to you know, put five dollars against her because not 2044 01:42:27,067 --> 01:42:30,147 Speaker 7: think she would have won it. Some outstanding athletes around 2045 01:42:30,187 --> 01:42:32,867 Speaker 7: her are the likes of Cat Matthew's IMG and Simmons 2046 01:42:32,907 --> 01:42:35,827 Speaker 7: and others extratentions out of Australia as well, but some 2047 01:42:35,907 --> 01:42:39,347 Speaker 7: outstanding athletes there. But Taylor Nibb has just been dominant 2048 01:42:39,667 --> 01:42:41,747 Speaker 7: for a long time and this is a third win 2049 01:42:42,067 --> 01:42:44,427 Speaker 7: in the World Championships in a row, so you know, 2050 01:42:44,507 --> 01:42:46,867 Speaker 7: reigning defending and she got it for the third time. 2051 01:42:46,947 --> 01:42:49,427 Speaker 5: So yeah, it was expected, but at. 2052 01:42:49,307 --> 01:42:51,427 Speaker 7: The same time, you know, you learn to not expect 2053 01:42:51,467 --> 01:42:54,147 Speaker 7: the expected at times in the sport. But Taylor definitely 2054 01:42:54,187 --> 01:42:55,507 Speaker 7: delivered good. 2055 01:42:55,387 --> 01:42:57,387 Speaker 2: Stuff and just just to finish you alluded to it 2056 01:42:57,467 --> 01:43:00,147 Speaker 2: before that, the number of people who lined the course, 2057 01:43:00,507 --> 01:43:02,787 Speaker 2: I guess, particularly the run leg I think I heard 2058 01:43:02,827 --> 01:43:05,267 Speaker 2: Taylor nib say yesterday that pretty much on every ten 2059 01:43:05,387 --> 01:43:08,267 Speaker 2: meters of the run call she was getting encouragement from 2060 01:43:08,307 --> 01:43:11,667 Speaker 2: the crowds.

When 2260 01:51:59,387 --> 01:52:00,787 Speaker 2: did you, I mean, were you were head on the 2261 01:52:00,827 --> 01:52:02,827 Speaker 2: ski pedal for example, when did you sort of take 2262 01:52:02,907 --> 01:52:05,147 Speaker 2: the lead and think to yourself, right, I'm in a 2263 01:52:05,187 --> 01:52:06,107 Speaker 2: pretty good position here. 2264 01:52:07,627 --> 01:52:10,107 Speaker 16: I came out fourth out of the fast leg fas 2265 01:52:10,227 --> 01:52:13,427 Speaker 16: ski leg, maybe a minute or so behind, and then 2266 01:52:14,107 --> 01:52:16,067 Speaker 16: I did the run and I think I was maybe 2267 01:52:16,187 --> 01:52:18,987 Speaker 16: two or three minutes ahead, and just extended that into 2268 01:52:19,067 --> 01:52:22,187 Speaker 16: the women the board, which was yeah, which was good. 2269 01:52:22,427 --> 01:52:24,187 Speaker 2: So it was on the on the on the run 2270 01:52:24,307 --> 01:52:26,947 Speaker 2: that you that you kind of kind of asserted a 2271 01:52:27,027 --> 01:52:29,387 Speaker 2: bit of dominance.

I guess, depending on what your strengths are. 2275 01:52:40,747 --> 01:52:43,107 Speaker 2: Now, you were only seventeen when you won it last year, 2276 01:52:43,227 --> 01:52:46,667 Speaker 2: youngest ever female winner eighteen.

England are one hundred for five 2370 01:57:33,507 --> 01:57:36,547 Speaker 2: chasing New Zealand's first innings of three four to seven. 2371 01:57:37,387 --> 01:57:40,867 Speaker 2: Lunch fifty four for two Andrew Ordison drinks one hundred 2372 01:57:40,947 --> 01:57:43,907 Speaker 2: for five. New Zealand continued to play pretty well in 2373 01:57:43,987 --> 01:57:45,427 Speaker 2: this Test match by the looks of things. 2374 01:57:46,707 --> 01:57:49,107 Speaker 13: It's an excellent performance so far. Pinting, no doubt about 2375 01:57:49,107 --> 01:57:51,147 Speaker 13: it and just so just finished the drinks break there 2376 01:57:51,387 --> 01:57:54,667 Speaker 13: we heard bon Jovi's Living on a Prayer play. I 2377 01:57:54,747 --> 01:57:57,547 Speaker 13: think all the lives of We're halfway there was the 2378 01:57:58,067 --> 01:58:00,147 Speaker 13: was the issue there that they all the misses they 2379 01:58:00,187 --> 01:58:02,307 Speaker 13: wanted to get across and that is so true. One 2380 01:58:02,347 --> 01:58:05,227 Speaker 13: hundred for five and still a PEPs of forty seven 2381 01:58:05,547 --> 01:58:08,507 Speaker 13: eng on playing the usual, well the P twenty style 2382 01:58:08,747 --> 01:58:11,667 Speaker 13: of batting that it's worked in New Zealand's favor mainly, 2383 01:58:11,827 --> 01:58:14,147 Speaker 13: I have to say, I mean Matt Harry making early 2384 01:58:14,227 --> 01:58:18,587 Speaker 13: two breakthroughs, getting both openers Zach Frawley and Ben Ducketts. 2385 01:58:18,627 --> 01:58:21,067 Speaker 13: But since then it's been will ow' rourke and sort 2386 01:58:21,107 --> 01:58:24,067 Speaker 13: of in a poetic sense, Rooks in boling from the 2387 01:58:24,107 --> 01:58:25,947 Speaker 13: tims Sow the end, And if you think of the 2388 01:58:26,027 --> 01:58:28,947 Speaker 13: passing of the guard, that's affectedly what secured here, because 2389 01:58:28,947 --> 01:58:32,347 Speaker 13: I Rook's taken the next three wickets. He's had Bethel 2390 01:58:32,587 --> 01:58:37,107 Speaker 13: loosely cutting to Phillip's backward point. He's had Harry Brook, 2391 01:58:37,147 --> 01:58:40,267 Speaker 13: which was probably the key one, chopping on first ball 2392 01:58:40,827 --> 01:58:43,547 Speaker 13: for a golden duck, but also getting Joe rut cramped 2393 01:58:43,627 --> 01:58:46,227 Speaker 13: and feeding a catch to Gully in the form of 2394 01:58:46,387 --> 01:58:49,867 Speaker 13: will Young. So outstanding byling display by Willow Rourke from 2395 01:58:49,907 --> 01:58:51,667 Speaker 13: the tim Sow the End at Sedon Park. 2396 01:58:51,987 --> 01:58:54,227 Speaker 2: Yeah, just on the Harry Brook one. We'll look at 2397 01:58:54,267 --> 01:58:56,107 Speaker 2: his z innings so far in this series one hundred 2398 01:58:56,107 --> 01:58:58,227 Speaker 2: and seventy one and his only bat in christ Church 2399 01:58:58,507 --> 01:59:00,507 Speaker 2: one hundred and twenty three and fifty five at the 2400 01:59:00,587 --> 01:59:03,987 Speaker 2: Basin out first ball here, So that's got to be 2401 01:59:04,187 --> 01:59:06,307 Speaker 2: utterly significant for New Zealand types, doesn't it. 2402 01:59:07,307 --> 01:59:10,107 Speaker 13: I think it's the key play potentially the game, Piney, 2403 01:59:10,187 --> 01:59:12,267 Speaker 13: with how things have gone so far with Harry Brook 2404 01:59:12,307 --> 01:59:14,307 Speaker 13: in any match he seems to have fayed against New Zealand. 2405 01:59:14,507 --> 01:59:16,907 Speaker 13: If you think of the follow on victory by New 2406 01:59:16,987 --> 01:59:19,987 Speaker 13: Zealand at the Basin in February twenty twenty three, that 2407 01:59:20,187 --> 01:59:22,187 Speaker 13: was with the Harry Brook run out without facing a 2408 01:59:22,267 --> 01:59:24,907 Speaker 13: ball on that occasion. So this time he's gone touch bit, 2409 01:59:24,987 --> 01:59:27,667 Speaker 13: he's actually faced the delivery, but will O Orc has 2410 01:59:27,707 --> 01:59:30,507 Speaker 13: got him chopping on. So I think that really is 2411 01:59:30,627 --> 01:59:34,067 Speaker 13: the key for New Zealand in the innings and whether 2412 01:59:34,107 --> 01:59:35,867 Speaker 13: they go from strength to strength here. I think they 2413 01:59:35,907 --> 01:59:38,507 Speaker 13: probably need one more to feel a bit more secure 2414 01:59:38,547 --> 01:59:41,267 Speaker 13: about it. England now one hundred and four for five 2415 01:59:41,947 --> 01:59:45,067 Speaker 13: forty three, if they can get either Ben Stokes or 2416 01:59:45,147 --> 01:59:49,187 Speaker 13: Olie Pope given their experience, are particularly Stokes, who we 2417 01:59:49,267 --> 01:59:52,667 Speaker 13: know loves to I guess work at his best in 2418 01:59:53,027 --> 01:59:56,867 Speaker 13: adversity and we've seen that before from Nashes and even 2419 01:59:56,907 --> 01:59:59,267 Speaker 13: the World Cup final, dare I say for twenty nineteen, 2420 01:59:59,427 --> 02:00:01,467 Speaker 13: so we know his pedigery in that regard. 2421 02:00:02,147 --> 02:00:04,947 Speaker 2: Tim Salley started with an over I think you mentioned 2422 02:00:04,987 --> 02:00:07,547 Speaker 2: to us before that had four bound come from it, 2423 02:00:08,187 --> 02:00:11,907 Speaker 2: but he bounced back to be more economical after that. 2424 02:00:12,067 --> 02:00:14,467 Speaker 2: Still hasn't picked up a wicket. How has Tim Soudi 2425 02:00:14,547 --> 02:00:18,187 Speaker 2: bowled from his from his end in this Test match? 2426 02:00:18,827 --> 02:00:21,027 Speaker 13: Well, ironically, he's not buying from his end now. He's 2427 02:00:21,067 --> 02:00:23,867 Speaker 13: boiling from the other end and he's got none to 2428 02:00:23,947 --> 02:00:25,867 Speaker 13: thirty two. He's into his ninth over now. So if 2429 02:00:25,907 --> 02:00:28,307 Speaker 13: you think about those seven overs since the sixteen and 2430 02:00:28,387 --> 02:00:31,467 Speaker 13: seven overs none to sixteen, they certainly tidy things up, 2431 02:00:31,547 --> 02:00:34,227 Speaker 13: got things a lot tighter. And I know maybe there 2432 02:00:34,267 --> 02:00:35,787 Speaker 13: was a touch of nerves in this final match of 2433 02:00:35,787 --> 02:00:39,267 Speaker 13: the opening over. Who does, But he's certainly in much 2434 02:00:39,347 --> 02:00:42,307 Speaker 13: more of a rhythm now and he's complimenting what O'Rourke 2435 02:00:42,427 --> 02:00:44,947 Speaker 13: is achieving at the other end with those those wickets. 2436 02:00:45,027 --> 02:00:48,467 Speaker 2: And still just Henry Soudy and O'Rourke used any sign 2437 02:00:48,507 --> 02:00:51,787 Speaker 2: of calisthenics from Mitchell center. I guess while things are 2438 02:00:51,787 --> 02:00:53,347 Speaker 2: going the way they are, he won't be needed. 2439 02:00:54,187 --> 02:00:56,147 Speaker 13: Well that's right, I think any more, they'll be looking 2440 02:00:56,227 --> 02:00:58,107 Speaker 13: more to him, just like we're talking before about so 2441 02:00:58,307 --> 02:01:00,867 Speaker 13: this year for the second innings of the game for 2442 02:01:00,947 --> 02:01:04,787 Speaker 13: each team, so cent in particular. Fourth things with the 2443 02:01:04,867 --> 02:01:07,507 Speaker 13: pitch starting to turn it touch will be the hopes 2444 02:01:07,547 --> 02:01:10,667 Speaker 13: we've seen in some previous games in recent years at 2445 02:01:10,747 --> 02:01:14,907 Speaker 13: Sedon Park, but no, I haven't seen them stretching out 2446 02:01:15,107 --> 02:01:17,067 Speaker 13: at any stage as yet, but I'll be keeping an 2447 02:01:17,107 --> 02:01:17,307 Speaker 13: eye on. 2448 02:01:17,307 --> 02:01:18,427 Speaker 10: And that's a little wild pining. 2449 02:01:18,907 --> 02:01:21,467 Speaker 2: Excellent stuff.
